The Market Hall in golden limestone is a curiosity architecturally; it dates from 1855 and replaces an earlier building of 1616, and is built in a not-quite-Gothic style.

Caption For Langport, Bow Street C1955

This view looks out of the market place into Bow Street, which leads down to the river.

From market place to bus terminus, centre for further education and declining shopping area; by 1955 Park Square was ripe for the redevelopment that did not actually happen for another 25 years.
