Newcastle's Central Arcade - how it was once home to a theatre, newsroom, and more

With its glass, barrel-vaulted roof and ornate tilework, it is one of Newcastle city centre's most striking architectural locations - and now ChronicleLive has reported, it's up for sale.

The Central Arcade stands a stone's throw from Grey's Monument and has entrances on Grey Street, Market Street and Granger Street. The triangular building’s basement, ground and second floors are now on the market, with the owners looking for at least £11.75m. Read the full story here.

The original so-called Central Exchange was built in 1837, the same year Queen Victoria came to the throne. The mastermind behind the project was builder Richard Grainger, the man who helped create the Newcastle we know and love today.
