We can win - UK City of Culture 2013 - on City Arcade, Birmingham

Before I left the city centre, I saw these UK City of Culture 2013 signs on City Arcade, so took a few shots of them. One outside, and one inside the arcade.

This one was inside the arcade, and unfortunetely, someone has vandalised it.

On the corner of Union Street and Union Passage is City Arcade in Birmingham.

The side facing near WH Smith is on Union Passage and Warwick Passage.

The other side faces Sainsburys in Martineau Place.

It is a Grade II* listed building dating from 1898 to 1901 (the late Victorian period). It is by T W F Newton and Cheattle. The decorative terracotta and green faience is by Doulton and Co and other detailing by W J Neatby.

It has an arcade full of shops. Although these days there aren't really any shops down there (from what I've seen whenever I pass it)

City Arcade - Union St - Heritage Gateway

The shop space here is To Let.
