The £3 million pound revamp of one of Leicester's landmark buildings is almost complete. The Silver Arcade has been standing empty for more than a decade but is due to be reopened by Christmas with sixty traders vying for units.

The Victorian arcade that dates from 1899 is the only one of its kind left in the country. It has been closed since 2000.
