try the Methodist church / Pemberton Centre. They've got lots of old pics from when they first opened.

Sorry, don't have any pics. There was never one arch, there was one each side of the road and they could be described as covered arches, as you had to walk through them (if my memory serves me right).

I've just looked on google search, under images. There's lots of photos there and one of them shows the two arches. I don't know how to add a pic on here? try this link:
