Princesshay is no place for socialites
Recently photographer David Mitchell was approached and told that he could not take photographs there. Mr Mitchell had gone in to the centre with his wife who was in a shop while he took photographs of the reflected light in windows.
"We were approached by three of the Princesshay security staff who came up and were right in my face."
Apparently the reason for throwing the snapper out was one of "quite serious security implications". Obviously terrorists are operating in the area and are targeting overpriced shopping malls.
It was unclear if all customers with phone camera's are to be banned from entering the area, we couldn't spot any signage prohibiting cameras, but be careful if you want a nice snap of you and your friends out shopping, as you may be chased off by big burly security guards who will assume you're out on a jihad.
Princesshay manager Sally Henley said: "Anyone who wishes to take photographs of the main thoroughfare should seek permission first from Princesshay management, as this area is Land Securities' property."
So if you're thinking of going anywhere near Princesshay it might be a good idea to contact Land Securities and check if it's OK with them to take a snap or two. If enough of us do it, it might just piss them off enough to stop being such dicks about the whole thing.
