The St. Albans Arcade was one of first buildings in St. Albans that had various shops under one roof. The earliest listing of the Arcade appears in 1960, showing a lively mix of small migrant‑run businesses typical of early St Albans: - Arcade Fruit Supplies - Mrs Irena Leczycki – Delicatessen - St Albans Fish Shop - Kenroniee Café - Violet Gift & Hardware - Arcade Butcher - Brotherhood of St Laurence – Dealer - Kanizsay, A. – Dealer - Arcade Hairdresser - Arcade Trading Co – Shoes This reflects the post‑war migrant boom, when St Albans was rapidly expanding and small shopfronts were essential community hubs. In 1970, the Arcade included: - T.A.B. of Victoria - Hampshire Real Estate Agency - Wittner’s Pty Ltd – Boot Retailer - Marta’s Beauty Saloon - Georgiou, P. – Hairdresser This marks the Arcade’s shift from purely retail to professional services, reflecting St Albans’ growing population and commercial maturity.5666 - Main Rd East 323 - St. Albans Arcade 1970's Photo 01.jpgmain road east, st. albans, st. albans arcade
