It takes its name from the White Rose of York, the traditional symbol of Yorkshire. The Upper Level houses the centre's food court as well as retail outlets. The centre has 4,800 free car parking spaces, security and on-site Police officers. Although the centre is smaller than other out-of-town shopping centres, it has attracted large retailers such as Next and Marks and Spencer. The centre opened on 25 March 1997 and accommodates major tenants including Sainsbury's, Debenhams, Marks and Spencer, Next, W H Smith, Topshop, Primark, Zara, H&M, and over 100 other stores and services. The south part of the centre was re-developed in 2005 downsizing the Sainsbury's Savacentre to a regular Sainsbury's which made space for other units. The centre has a bus station connecting it to suburban areas of Leeds and to the city centre. To coincide with its tenth year of trading the White Rose Centre was rebranded. Its logo, advertising, signage and staff uniforms were redesigned. The branding and strategic marketing campaign won a BCSC Purple Apple award. The centre is managed and mainly by Land Securities and Evans of Leeds. It has also won awards including a British Council of Shopping Centre's (BCSC) Gold Award, BCSC Purple apple, and Green apple awards. ConstructionThe site covers {{convert|76|acre|m2}} and was formerly the Morley Sewage works. Before building work began in 1995, enabling works including removing the sewage works, sealing disused mine shafts, removing contaminated soil and profiling the sloping site, were carried out. It required moving 750,000 cubic metres of soil to grade a 30-metre fall across the site and create level terraces for the structure and car parks. Work commenced on the 87-week project on 10 July 1995 and by September the first steelwork was visible. 600 semi-mature, seven metre high trees were purchased from Germany and planted in the car park to provide landscaping. Five thousand trees and shrubs have been planted around the car parks and perimeter roads. DiningThe Balcony Food Court takes up most of the upper floor in the central atrium. It includes McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Spud-u-like, Bagel Nash, Juice Nando's, Frankie & Benny's and Pizza Express plus a number of other food outlets. The Balcony leads to a newly constructed area of the centre known as The Village. This includes further eateries namely Pizza Hut, Five Guys, Limeyard, Wagamama, Chiquito and TGI Friday's. CommunityThe White Rose Centre is involved in a number of social welfare activities in the local area.[4] older people are able to participate in mall walking within the covered environment. It houses the White Rose Learning Centre run in conjunction with Education Leeds and Leeds City College[5] to provide dance classes and other educational activities for children at risk of exclusion from school in an informal environment. The Quiet Room in the Upper Circle is available for use by all patrons and staff during the Centre opening hours. CriticismsOne criticism of the centre is the width of the malls which are narrow. Another criticism is the lack of a railway station, despite the centre's proximity to the Huddersfield and Wakefield railway lines, but plans to add a station have been developed.[6] ExtensionIn 2017 a {{convert|65,000|ft2}} £25 million extension was completed and named 'The Village'. It included an 11 screen IMAX Cineworld Cinema, and new restaurants, Pizza Hut, Chiquito, Wagamama, Five Guys, Limeyard and TGI Friday's.[7][8] A children's outdoor play area opened in 'The Village' in 2018.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.white-rose.co.uk/getting-here/|title=Getting to White Rose - Parking, Directions & Public Transport|publisher=|accessdate=10 February 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.landsecuritiesretail.com/portfolio/shopping-centres/white-rose-centre/|title=White Rose Centre - Land Securities Retail|publisher=|accessdate=10 February 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pilkingtons.com/pilk/index.php?page=studywhiterose |accessdate=19 April 2010 }}{{dead link|date=May 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.white-rose.co.uk/community/|title=Community - White Rose Centre - Corporate Responsibility|publisher=|accessdate=10 February 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.teachingoutsidetheclassroom.com/find-a-partner/setting/piIoo3DoZcNPU|title=White Rose Learning Centre - Education Leeds|publisher=|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716194754/http://www.teachingoutsidetheclassroom.com/find-a-partner/setting/piIoo3DoZcNPU|archivedate=16 July 2011|accessdate=10 February 2017}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/new-stations-at-airport-and-white-rose-in-leeds-270m-transport-shake-up-1-8273602|title=New stations at airport and White Rose in Leeds’ £270m transport shake-up|newspaper=Yorkshire Evening Post|accessdate=10 February 2017}} 7. ^{{cite news |author= |title=Leisure boost for White Rose |url=https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/leisure-boost-for-white-rose-1-8635917 |work=Yorkshire Evening Post |location= |date=6 July 2017 |accessdate=13 August 2018 }} 8. ^1 {{cite news |author= |title=New outdoor children’s play area unveiled in £25m extension to White Rose|url=https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/new-outdoor-children-s-play-area-unveiled-in-25m-extension-to-white-rose-1-9206727 |work=Yorkshire Evening Post |location= |date=14 June 2018 |accessdate=13 August 2018 }} External links{{commons category-inline|White Rose Centre}}
