Dating back to the 14th century, the market is open weekdays from 7am until late, and offers fresh food, top notch cheese, butchers shops and florists.

Covered by an ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream with cobbled floors below, the current structure was designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones (also the architect of Billingsgate and Smithfield Markets).

I think it’s a rather fine piece of Victorian architecture.
