The Belfry Shopping Centre first opened on 15 October 1991, in the centre of Redhill, having been constructed on the site of an old car park.
It dramatically altered the already changing face of Redhill, bringing it well into the modern age and has created many jobs with the 43 shops it contains.
It spreads over 248,000 square feet (23,000 m2), and has two shopping levels - the bottom being High Street Mall, and the upper level Station Road Mall. They are named after the roads the respective levels exit onto.
In February 2006, the Belfry had won the 'Purple Apple' National Retail award. It beat competition from the country's larger and more popular centres in the Best Single Event category, for its 'Modelsearch' competition, which not only looks to find new modelling talent of all shapes and sizes, both male and female.
In March 2007 a 9-month long renovation costing £1 m was carried out. This finished 2 months ahead of schedule and the majority was completed at night.
