City Arcade - Union Passage to Union Street, Birmingham - the arched arcade walkway

On the corner of Union Street and Union Passage is City Arcade in Birmingham.

 

The side facing near WH Smith is on Union Passage and Warwick Passage.

 

The other side faces Sainsburys in Martineau Place.

 

 

It is a Grade II* listed building dating from 1898 to 1901 (the late Victorian period). It is by T W F Newton and Cheattle. The decorative terracotta and green faience is by Doulton and Co and other detailing by W J Neatby.

 

It has an arcade full of shops. Although these days there aren't really any shops down there (from what I've seen whenever I pass it)
