More about this scene
Once the site of Corn Market House, where weekly markets were held for the sales of corn and straw plait, Market Hill underwent a major refurbishment in the 1860s, culminating in the joint opening of the new Corn Exchange and the nearby Plait Halls in 1869. The outdoor market, held weekly on Market Hill and Park Street, moved into the Plait Halls in 1925 and became a daily occurrence in the process. In this photograph, the side entrance to the market halls can just be seen to the side of the Plough Inn on the left.
