History

Plans for the mall were made by the Reading Borough Council in 1956, however it took more than a decade to find a suitable site and buy it. [1] The mall was originally known as the Butts Centre, and was named after the adjacent St Mary's Butts. The current name relates to Reading's principal pedestrian shopping street Broad Street and the mall is situated at the west end of this street.

Notable stores

It has many shops, such as a large New Look (store) and a TK Maxx. It is currently being refurbished.
