The Bridge Shopping Centre (Portsmouth)

The Bridge Shopping Centre is a small shopping centre located in Portsmouth, England. The centre was opened in May 1989 on land which was formerly home to Portsea Island Central Premises Co-Op.[1] The centre was originally owned by Asda, who were their main tennant, until the Portsmouth City Council purchased the centre in September 2023.[2], with plans to include new tenants and office space.[3]

Not to be confused with The Bridges.

Over the years, shops have come and gone in the centre. Throughout a decade period from 2010 until 2019, a majority of the shops in the centre were empty, not being until 2020 when the Centre would gain a majority of tenants again.
