At the time of the building of Brunswick Terrace, as no shops were allowed there, this market building was erected between Upper and Lower Market Streets. Opened on 28 August 1828, it was a market for all forms of provisions. As shops later grew up in the neighbouring district the need for the market declined, and it ceased to be used as such by 1839. For many years it was used as a riding school and in recent times, as a wholesale grocers warehouse. This view shows the east side of the building
On 11 October 1970 when these photographs were taken, the building was in a semi-derelict condition and its continued existence was doubtful.
