Central Arcade
Central Arcade captures one of Newcastle upon Tyne’s most historic architectural gems. Opened in 1906 and built on the site of a former commercial exchange, the Edwardian shopping arcade is famed for its ornate tilework, glass roof, and elegant ironwork. It has long been a landmark in the city centre, offering a beautifully preserved glimpse into early 20th-century design.
This photograph was taken from an elevated viewpoint, looking down as two lone shoppers walk through the arcade. Sunlight filters through the glass ceiling, casting warm light across the intricate mosaic floor below. The composition highlights both the grandeur of the space and the quiet intimacy of a fleeting moment — a peaceful pause in the midst of one of Newcastle’s most iconic walkways.
