HISTORY OF CITY ARCADE City Arcade was design by T.W.F Newton and Cheattle whom also designed numerous other building through Birmingham such as Fighting Cocks in Moseley, 143 Edmund Street, 41 Church Street and 56-60 Newhall Street. Sadly T.W.F Newton passed away at 40 years old. It was built in 1898 originally it was two separate building the one that currently stands today and the grander one that intersected with the Midland Arcade which was sadly destroy on the 9th and 10th April 1941 during two heavy raids during WWII. The remaining part of City Arcade closed in 1961 as part of a redevelopment plan for the city, the plans did not materialise and the arcade was boarded up and became an eyesore and full of rubbish and was threaded with the prospect of demolition. In 1972 the arcade was given a whole new lease of life and received £80, 000 investment by Ravenseft Properties Ltd and work was overseen by Cotton, Ballard and Blow.
