More about this scene
The new outside market was opened in October 1962. Its concrete 'umbrella' roof based on cylindrical sections allowed for fewer columns and greater flexibility of arrangement. Pleck Road through to Peel Street is just visible on the left of the photograph. The Market soon became popular, but it was demolished in 2002 to make way for new shops, and another new outside market was built on Peel Street.
