The Grade II* listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1072007 Winter Gardens were built in 1875-8 to a design by Thomas Mitchell. The Adelaide Street elevation consists of a brick wall with faience dressings and window surrounds. There is a central goods entrance. At the corner of Adelaide Street and Coronation Street there is an elaborate former entrance façade re-faced in 1930 in faience that gives access into Olympia, two bays of which are carried around the corner into Adelaide Street. The entrance is topped with a circular tower which is now missing its original dome.
