Touchwood is a shopping centre in Solihull, West Midlands, England.
History
Opened in 2001 and costing £110 million to build, the centre was built on the former car parks behind the High Street.[2]
Around 251,000 cubic metres of earth were excavated to form the basements and over 4,000 tons support the Touchwood structure.[3]
Touchwood has a John Lewis department store,[4] at 265,000 sq ft (24,600 m2), as well as 80 other stores, over 20 restaurants and a Cineworld nine-screen multiplex cinema.[5]
The most successful retailing area of Solihull, Mell Square and Solihull High Street both now hosting empty units.
The Touchwood access also leads to Library Square, for the Solihull Central Library and Arts Complex.
