High Street Arcade

High Street Arcade is an entrance block located on High Street, designed in an eclectic style that combines Classical and Gothic elements with some Arabic influences. The building features a painted front made of brick and bathstone, with a Radyr stone plinth. It stands three storeys tall and includes a dentil cornice and relief banding. The façade consists of three bays, with the central bay set forward and flanked by pilasters. The top floor has two camber-headed sash windows in each bay. On the first floor, the central windows are set back behind a crocketed Gothic arch, while each side has a group of three sash windows framed by colonettes, featuring reliefs in round-arched heads. The ground floor has shop fronts that are set forward, flanking the entrance to the arcade. Above the shops, there are bathstone parapets adorned with relief arcading. The arcade itself curves through to Working Street and is numbered up to 34, with odd numbers on the north side and even numbers on the south side. It has a glass roof supported by triangular trusses.
