(183) Central Arcade

Central Arcade in Newcastle was first built in 1837 for Richard Grainger as part of his iconic architectural redevelopment of the city. This triple-domed building was originally a commercial exchange and newsroom and later an art gallery. It was rebuilt in 1906 after a fire, to create a cut-through from Newcastle's famous Grey Street to Market Street and Grainger Street.
