The open area at the right-hand corner of the Municipal Buildings is known as Cowan's Corner (image 1), after a local businessman who refused to sell his property when the council was acquiring the land needed to build the award-winning design, and subsequently the original design had to be changed (image 2).
Ironically, this property was destroyed by a bomb during the May 1941 blitz, leaving the present gap.

Recently, the council have added Historic Quarter information boards to this area. (images 3 & 4)
