'The Shopping Precinct looking north from the existing Guildhall Tower'
Flags fly, fountains play and shoppers stroll in J. D. M. Harvey's sunny vision of Plymouth's new shopping precinct, seen from the Guildhall tower looking north up the great axis towards North Road station. Long, flag-topped stores line the planned avenues around a garden roundabout, capturing all the optimism of the wartime Plan for Plymouth. The axis was built as Armada Way, with Royal Parade crossing it, and the rebuilt centre is admired today as a coherent post-war townscape, although its buildings turned out plainer than Harvey's. Armada Way's recent redesign has renewed public debate about this central space. A colourful, decorative perspective, drawn in 1943 and printed in the second edition of the plan.
