Editing Rugby, Warwickshire (section)

===Town centre===
The town centre is mostly [[Victorian era|Victorian]] and early 20th century, however a few much older buildings survive, along with some more modern developments. Rugby was described by [[Nikolaus Pevsner]] as 'Butterfieldtown'<ref name="WarwickshireTownsAndVillages">Allen, Geoff, (2000) ''Warwickshire Towns & Villages'', {{ISBN|1-85058-642-X}}</ref> due to the number of buildings designed by [[William Butterfield]] in the 19th century, including much of Rugby School and the extension of [[St Andrew's Church, Rugby|St Andrew's Church]].

The main shopping area in Rugby has traditionally been in the streets around the Clock Tower, two of which – High Street and Sheep Street – were pedestrianised in the 1980s.<ref name="Rughistim"/> Until the 19th century, Rugby's urban area consisted of only Market Place, High Street, Sheep Street, Church Street, North Street and what is now Lawrence Sheriff Street. These centred on what is now the Clock Tower, which was built in 1887 on the site of an ancient cross. These streets still form the core of the town centre. In the [[Victorian era|Victorian]] and [[Edwardian era]]s several more shopping streets were added in order to cater for the growing town, including Albert Street and Regent Street, the latter of which was built in 1905, and was intended to be Rugby's main shopping street, although it never achieved this goal.<ref name="RGOAT"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Rugby roads J–Y |url=http://www.rugby-local-history.org/index.php/rugby-roads?id=118 |publisher=Rugby Local History Research Group |access-date=23 August 2019}}</ref> The town centre has an indoor shopping centre called [[Rugby Central Shopping Centre]] which opened in 1979 (previously named The Clock Tower shopping centre).<ref name="Rughistim"/> A street [[market (place)|market]] is held in the town centre several days a week. In recent years several out-of-town retail centres have opened and expanded to the north of the town, including: Elliott's Field Retail Park, Junction 1 Retail Park and Technology Drive.
