No idea why this place exists. No idea. Plans for it must have been drawn up in the 70s.

It's busy but the High Street used to be busy. Back in Stockton recently, for the first time ever there are boarded up properties ON THE HIGH STREET. What the hell??? In real terms there are a lot more failed businesses, but those premises get charity shops stuffed inside them. Ok, Wellington Square has basically changed the layout of Regent street behind the High Street, so that portion of it no longer exists. A historic grade 3 building, and the listed Baptist Tabernacle, featured on Songs of Praise, were both demolished.

There's a nice selection of shops in Wellington Square River Island, Top Shop and H&M for fashion, HMV and Game for entertainment, WH Smiths and The Works for books, Cafe Nero and Greggs for food and drinks, Superdrug and Sally's for hair and beauty as well as several mobile phone shops, jewellry shops, Rawcliffes, Lidl, Claires Accessories and an entrance to Debenhams. There's also a hairdressing salon and Public Toilets. The walkway is clean, with several litter bins available to use and there are shelters along either side of the walkway to help shoppers cope with the rain a little better.
