Grand Arcade, Victorian shopping arcade in Leeds, England
The Grand Arcade extends along New Briggate with two parallel passages connecting to Vicar Lane, featuring Renaissance elements and British Art Nouveau details.
Smith & Tweedal architects designed the Grand Arcade in 1897 on the former site of Lupton's Mill, transforming the commercial landscape of Victorian Leeds.
The northern section of the Grand Arcade transformed into the Tower Cinema in 1920, later becoming a nightclub in 1985, reflecting changes in entertainment.
The Grade II listed building contains multiple independent shops and cafes, with natural light streaming through the glass-covered walkways throughout the day.
An animated clock created by Potts of Leeds stands as a mechanical centerpiece within the remaining arcade passage.
