Students from the drama department at Birmingham’s Cockshut Hill Technology College, who are all undertaking the BTEC Diploma in Performing Arts course, took part in the ghost walks on Saturday 31 October.
Specially conceived for the arcade and based on its 134 year history, 10 lost souls created and played by the students randomly appeared on the Saturday afternoon to tell shoppers and visitors their tales of woe and despair.
The students based their ghost characters on the kind of people who would have lived and worked in and around the arcade and the railway years ago, specifically during the late Victorian era and World War II when the arcade was bombed.
