An elegant Edwardian shopping arcade built in 1906
and designed by Oswald and Son, of Newcastle.  It is
contained within the Central Exchange building, which
was built by Richard Grainger in 1836-38.   The
building was ravaged by fire in 1867, again in 1901
and in 1906 the Central Arcade was created within
the original building.  The faïence tiles in the
arcade were produced by Rust's Vitreous
Mosaics, Battersea.
