The Mall Shopping Centre In Chandler’s Ford

December 31, 2013 By Janet Williams 10 Comments

I’m recording the changing faces of Chandler’s Ford. You can compare old and new signs in Chandler’s Ford in these posts: New Sign At The Central Precinct Of Chandler’s Ford and Tale Of Chandler’s Ford Vicarage.

To mark the end of 2013, I’m showing you the old and new signs of The Mall Shopping Centre in Chandler’s Ford.

Left: Old and tatty sign. Right: New triangular sign of The Mall Shopping Centre in Chandler’s Ford.

The old sign looked a bit tired. The new triangular sign carried a modern feel, with bigger font size, and the space between letters is wider. The new contemporary sign is certainly more appealing.

The shape of the new sign reminds me of my favourite chocolate Toblerone, and the famous revolving sign outside the current New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service.

However, I don’t think the The Mall Shopping Centre sign in Chandler’s Ford spins round and round.

Do you know when The Mall was opened?

There is a plaque on the wall. The text reads:

The Mall Chandlers Ford was officially opened by Lord and Lady Romsey on the 7th September 1988. (A. C. English Developments Ltd.)
