Phase 1

Pummery Square forms the ‘hub’ of Phase 1, also linking through to the Victoria Park development to the east. The permeable network of roads, alleyways and parking courtyards in Phase 1 fan out from the hub to give immediacy to the facilities within the Square.

The dominant building is the Brownsword Hall, designed by John Simpson, in the idiom of a traditional West Country market hall. The upper chamber is effectively Poundbury’s community hall, managed by the Poundbury Village Hall Trust and available for community, private and commercial events.

The surface of the Square is managed by the Brownsword Hall and is used for occasional public and theatrical events as well as a car park.

The other buildings fronting the Square are commercial on the ground floor and residential above. Significant buildings are The Poet Laureate Public House, Poundbury Village Stores, Café Octagon, The Poundbury Clinic, and a number of small boutique shops and services.

Architects: John Simpson, Leigh Brooks, David Oliver, Ben Pentreath, Philip Storey, Andy Kunz.
