Originally developed by the Peel Group, the Trafford Centre was sold to Capital Shopping Centres, later to become Intu, in 2011 for £1.65 billion;[12] it set a record as the costliest single property sale in British history.[13]
The battle to obtain permission to build the centre was amongst the longest and most expensive in United Kingdom planning history.[3] As of 2011, the Trafford Centre had Europe’s largest food court and the UK’s busiest cinema.[1]
Located in the historic county of Cardiganshire, Aberystwyth means “the mouth of the Ystwyth“. It has been a major educational location in Wales since the establishment of University College Wales, now Aberystwyth University, in 1872.
The town is situated on Cardigan Bay on the west coast of Wales, near the confluence of the River Ystwyth and Afon Rheidol. Following the reconstruction of the harbour, the Ystwyth skirts the town. The Rheidol passes through the town. The seafront, with a pier, stretches from Constitution Hill at the north end of the Promenade to the harbour at the south. The beach is divided by the castle. The town is divided into five areas: Aberystwyth Town; Llanbadarn Fawr; Waunfawr; Trefechan; and Penparcau.
