The Hepworth Arcade is a Grade II listed covered shopping arcade in Kingston upon Hull, that runs between Lowgate and Silver Street in Hull city centre, with a connecting entrance to the Trinity Indoor Market. The arcade was created as a result of purchases of individual plots of land over time, formally opening as an arcade in 1897.[1]
