Barton Arcade, Victorian shopping arcade in Deansgate, Manchester, England
The Barton Arcade features four floors connected by ornate cast iron staircases beneath a soaring glass dome spanning the central atrium space.
Built in 1871 by Corbett, Raby, and Sawyer, the arcade survived significant damage during the Manchester Blitz of 1940 when its glass dome shattered.
The arcade represents one of the finest examples of Victorian commercial architecture in northern England, with its wrought iron framework and glass construction.
Located between Deansgate and St Ann's Square, the arcade houses multiple retail shops across 55,000 square feet of commercial space.
The iron elements throughout the structure were manufactured at Glasgow's Saracen Foundry, incorporating detailed metalwork patterns and decorative columns.
