s) REGENT ARCADE: The Regent Arcade opened in 1961 on the site of Warden's Buildings, a group of warehouses named after Francis Warden who bought land in the area in the late eighteenth century. The site was anciently known as the Mockbeggar's Croft, a field probably connected with St Bartholomew's Priory. The entrances to this select arcade in East Street , Market Street and Bartholomews have been well designed to blend in with the adjacent buildings. {3,123}
