Changes

Following the war, the city centre was redeveloped in an uncompromisingly modernist fashion. A ring road was built around the centre and the intricate pattern of medieval streets was replaced by one of shopping precincts and open spaces, with segregation of pedestrians and vehicles. The principal building in the new centre is the Cathedral of St Michael the Archangel, designed by Sir [[Basil Spence]], and attached to ruins of the old cathedral destroyed in the 1940 bombing.
