More about this scene
The Phoenix and the attached shopping precinct to the west of the modern town centre are typical examples of the late 1950s to early 1960s New Town expansion. Much of it is flat roofed and the pub is virtually unchanged, except for the name sign. Its frontage facing the road is severe and almost without windows, only the landlord's flat above, with its characteristic 1960s zig-zag tiles, has sizeable windows. The section to the left is the first shop in the precinct with its central car park.
