The Gates Shopping Centre (formerly known as Milburngate Shopping Centre) was a shopping centre in Durham, England. It was located on the west side of the River Wear between Framwellgate Bridge and , in the centre of Durham.
In 2016 the centre closed for a £30 million redevelopment,[3] as one of the three redevelopments in Durham City, in partnership with Durham BID worth almost £190 million.[4] The complex being built on the former site of The Gates named the Riverwalk[5] was opened in Summer 2019 and consists of over 20 refurbished shopping units,[4] including Poundland,[6] Cex[7] (pre-existing unit) and Santander.[8] The Riverwalk complex also has a large Odeon Cinema.[9][4] Free parking for vehicles was introduced in summer 2020.[10]
