Falmouth’s St George’s Arcade used to be Falmouth’s first cinema which was, when it was built in 1912, one of the largest in Britain. However, the cinema was badly damaged by fire during the war. Today, it is a shopping arcade housing shops selling a variety of items ranging from books and maps to clothes and music. The ornate façade to the arcade features a figure of St George slaying the dragon. Above the arcade is a popular nightclub.
