Built between 1923 to 1924 by Clayton & Black, remodelled in 1934 by Garrett & Son to create the corner building at the junction of Dyke Road and Western Road.
Streamlined art deco design, with a curved portion to Dyke Road emulating a ship’s prow. Strong horizontal emphasis was established by the fenestration but balanced by the stepped towers incorporating vertical windows with chevron glazing.
Modern shopfronts to Western Road elevation. Arcade has entrances to Western Road and Dyke Road, incorporating a stepped parapet.
Elements of early 20th-century shopfronts and early 20th-century glazing to the first-floor level within the arcade, which has a fully glazed roof.
