Liberty Wharf shopping centre opens

St Helier’s £40m Liberty Wharf occupies a former Victorian abattoir, and retains many of the listed building’s original features. The first tenant announced, several months before opening, was Marks & Spencer’s homeware department, but the first shop to open was Pasty Presto, which sold pasties imported from Cornwall.
