The Grade II listed building was built by Great Western Company in 1876-77 to span a tunnel for the railway line between Moor St and Snow Hill. Sadly, the beautiful building sustained bomb damage in World War 2 and is now two floors shorter. <br />The arcade has been hosting regular markets for arts and crafts as well as playing host to eight artists over two weekends, as part of Birmingham Open Studios - an annual, city-wide art trail. <br />This year, the arcade is acting as one of this year’s main ‘hubs’ where several artists exhibit their work together. <br />
