HISTORY & HERITAGE

About the design

Architects behind Kendal's multi-million pound town centre redevelopment have pledged to deliver a fusion of traditional and cutting edge design. When the wraps come off the new Booths store off Stricklandgate in 2004, its creators hope it will capture the atmosphere of a bustling market hall of bygone days against a backdrop of contemporary 21st century design.
