Kings Arcade - Physical Description 1
Erecred in 1893, King's Arcade in Armadale is an intact shopping arcade with an extensive red brick facade to High Street. The identical flanking bays of this asymmetrical facade feature gable ends crowned with terracotta lions and incorporate pairs of rectangular windows with curved cement render surrounds and circular window above. One of the two inner bays of the facade features a balcony and supported hood while the other incorporates windows with slightly pointed heads. Tectangular balustrading at parapet level reveals a slate and two chimney pots. Profuse use of cement render detailing contrasts with the red face brickwork of the entire facade above the cantilevered bullnose veranda at street level. Internally, the arcade islined with original shopfronts which feature leaded glass and tilework.
