1993
James Bulger abduction and murder
Two-year-old James Bulger was abducted from New Strand Shopping Centre on 12 February 1993 and later murdered by two ten-year-old boys. The case generated intense public attention and remains inseparable from the centre’s historical identity. A creche was subsequently established with community and charitable support.
