Wayfarers Arcade, Victorian shopping arcade on Lord Street, Southport, England.
The two-story indoor retail space features a glass domed roof supported by decorative ironwork and thirty mahogany-fronted retail units with balconies.
The building, which opened in 1898 as Leyland Arcade, underwent significant changes during World War II when its roof required black paint for blackout regulations.
The building displays late Victorian commercial architecture with its barrel-vaulted glass ceiling, ornamental metalwork, and traditional mahogany shop frontages from the 1890s.
The arcade contains thirty independent shops across two floors, offering fashion, furniture, jewelry, collectibles, and dining options under natural daylight.
The floor incorporates restored mosaic designs within terrazzo tiles, replacing the 1950s asphalt surface during a £2 million renovation completed in 2008.
