Victorian Arcade, Accrington
This needs some TLC to show off its real beauty. It has some ornamental tiles and beautiful stained glass, but most of the shop units are empty and those that are in use seemed to be piled up with cheap furniture. The one exception is the little cafe, which warmed me up and where my coffee and scone were unexpectedly cheap. The empty tables in the cold passageway added to the dismal feel of the arcade.
The arcade was built in 1896 by Edmund Riley and is Grade II listed. My guide book says that it was originally intended as a theatre, but the river Hyndburn under its foundations made this an unsafe proposition and "shopping in the dry" was agreed upon, and it became one of the first arcades of its kind in the country.
