The Flying Horse Arcade is well known for independent shops and boutiques that sell everything from cheese to art. The building has a long history stretching back to the 13th century but it has only been a shopping arcade since 1989.
The historic building was originally built as a home for wealthy merchants but it has also been a pub, coaching inn and hotel over the decades. The Grade II listed building has 1483 on the front which is the date it was established.
It was built on the site of a former house established by the Plumtre family when they came to the city in the 13th century. John De Plumtre set up hospitals and almshouses locally.
