Cavendish Shopping Arcade, Cavendish Arcade, The Crescent, Buxton, Buxton, Derbyshire SK17

A Grade II listed Neo Classical thermal baths, Cavendish Shopping Arcade was constructed in the early nineteenth century and gathers together the finest independent retailers including clothing, beauty
products, homewares, gifts, books, chocolatier and eco-friendly goods.
The building was converted to retail units in 1987 and was the subject
of a further major refurbishment in 2002. Over the following years the
property has been continually maintained and upgraded.
The property is constructed of sandstone blockwork, the shopping
experience is crowned by the stunning stained-glass, barrel-vaulted
roof, designed by painter and artist Brian Clarke.
The Hot Baths were totally rebuilt during 1852/53 to the design of
Henry Currey, the 6th Duke of Devonshire's architect. They were
largely enveloped in an iron and glass structure with a colonnade
running along the front, extending the sheltered promenade that ran
along the frontage of the Crescent and the side of the Natural Baths.
The design has affinities with the Crystal Palace in London and the
Great Conservatory at Chatsworth, both designed by Joseph Paxton
