Cardiff's Victorian arcades have been attracting new shops and customers since emerging from the economic recession.
The area around the arcades will be affected by pedestrianisation of High Street in late 2010, to create the £2.5m Castle Quarter.
Traders in the market offer a variety of fresh produce, cooked food, various delicacies and more durable goods.
A trader of note is Ashton's the fishmongers,[7] who have traded in the market since 1866 at the Trinity Street entrance selling a wide range of fresh seafood.
One of the longer of Cardiff's famous Victorian arcades, Castle Arcade is home to a variety of shops selling, among other things, crystals, air pistols, fancy dress, books and clothes.
