Central Arcade Newcastle- Michael
by Michael Ramsay

The Central Arcade in Newcastle upon Tyne, England is an elegant Edwardian shopping arcade built in 1906 and designed by Oswald and Son, of Newcastle. It is contained within the Central Exchange building, which was built by Richard Grainger in 1836-38 to the designs of John Wardle and George Walker. The Central Exchange is a triangular building which was intended to be a corn exchange but became a subscription newsroom. The building was ravaged by fire in 1867 and again in 1901, and in 1906 the Central Arcade was created within the original building.

I really love this shot Michael, it is very nice and symmetrical plus the composition is good along with that. I love the people in the shot and the construction of that ceiling is just wonderful! One of your best shots IMO.

I like the symmetric perspective and diffuse light on this.
An ancestor of nowadays malls i guess.

It's difficult to imagine something like this being constructed nowadays. You've managed to give a very good impression of this fine building.
