A section of Westgate Street looking towards the junction with John William Street. On the left is the ornate wrought iron and glass entrance to the Byram Arcade, currently painted in sage green. Inside a collection of independent and specialist retail shops is to be found on three levels, in a setting largely unchanged since the 19th century. The complex is Victorian and was built by W.H.Crossland. It is named after the ancestral home of the Ramsden family near Pontefract. The Ramsdens were the owners of a large proportion of Huddersfield.
