Decorative Ironwork, supporting Colonnade
The Quadrant, part of the modern shopping
experience that began its life during the Victorian era. Once covered
by a magnificent wrought-iron and glass colonnade throughout, little of
the original remains to help keep shoppers dry during wet weather.

Cavendish Arcade
|
The Colonnade itself forms a part of the
grand building that is the Crescent, where behind in the old thermal
baths, the visitor will find a modern shopping arena, the Cavendish
Arcade.
|
|
Here, the shops are set within the
building that once saw visitors seeking a cure for whatever ailed them.
The tiled walls show many signs of art nouveau decoration, so enjoyed
by the Victorians during this period in our history. .
