Central Arcade, Grade II listed shopping arcade in Wrexham, United Kingdom.
The Central Arcade extends through the city center with red brick walls, terracotta details, and a glazed glass roof connecting Hope Street to the Butcher's Market.
Built in 1891 by architect A. C. Baugh, the arcade originally contained eighteen shops and underwent interior modifications in the 1930s to accommodate a Woolworths store entrance.
The arcade stands as a representation of Victorian commercial architecture, featuring white brickwork storefronts and tripartite windows separated by decorative pilasters.
The Central Arcade provides direct access between Hope Street and the Butcher's Market, offering retail spaces across multiple floors at 82.2 meters above sea level.
Recent refurbishment plans in 2024 include converting upper floors into residential spaces while maintaining the structure's nineteenth-century architectural elements.
