History of Artefact	The Tricorn was demolished during 2004. It was a City centre car park with shops beneath. A controversial building - where the public seemed to love it or hate it! Taylor Woodrow owned the building. It was designed to house Commercial Road as a fruit and veg market. Owen Luder was the designer. His concept was that of a Souk- Arabic market. The building was started in 1964 and completed in 1966.
