Handyside Arcade
Handyside Arcade on Percy Street was a 90-shop development built from c.1900 to 1906 by George Handyside, who died in 1904 before it's completion. The arcade was used as a barracks during the First World War, and later fell derelict during the Great Depression. The Handyside Arcade underwent a renaissance in the 1960s, and was a bustling shopping centre with a wide variety of independent shops. It was demolished in 1987 to make way for the Eldon Garden Shopping Centre.
