Princes Quay is a shopping centre in the heart of Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The centre is unusual in that it is built on stilts over ''Prince's Dock'' after which it is named. It was opened in 1991. ==Description== To take advantage of its location the shopping centre is constructed with large windows giving visitors panoramic views of the Hull Marina and the dock. The centre also builds its image on a nautical theme, for example by callings its retail floors ''decks''. The centre, built round a central atrium, opened to the public on 15 March 1991 and consisted of 3 decks of over 80 retail outlets. The centre includes a ''Food Court'' on the lowest deck, known as ''Harbour Deck''. A fourth floor, known as ''Top Deck'', was converted from retail units in 2007 into a 10-screen cinema by Vue with Europe's first digital screen. A 1,000 place multi-storey car park〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Princes Quay )〕 is integrated with the centre and is accessed from the main A63 when travelling eastbound into the city. Princes Quay is well served by public transport with many bus routes stopping immediately outside the centre and with Hull Paragon Interchange only a few minutes' walk away.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Getting Here )〕 In February 2011 a plan to revamp the food court into several new casual dining restaurants, overlooking the dock commenced and has seen the return of Pizza express to the city and has also seen Nandos open a second outlet in the city centre. The restaurants are already proving popular and add to the already increasing vibrancy of Princes Dock Street. Other major restaurant operators such as Wagamama are rumoured to be taking a place in the new food quarter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Princes Quay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
