This is the Victorian Shopping Arcade in my hometown, Walsall, West Midlands, England. I remember going there as a child.
They had a wonderful, old fashioned, toy shop and I used to window shop there.
Nice to see that it has been looked after.

My daughter has a mastiff that is crossed with a Staffordshire Bull terrier. He destroys dog toys. They get kid toys from a charity shop to give him instead. The last one lasted 8 seconds.
He has a doggie toy dinosaur that he likes and that seems to be holding up well.
