Description: | View up Market Street. Many of the buildings in this photograph have been on site since the 17th century but have been extensively remodelled over the years and almost all have 19th century facades. On the right are the offices of the Hampshire Herald. Next door is the cycle shop at 9 - 11 Market Street owned by S G Watson until bought by F W Kerridge in 1907 who continued the business and later acquired 36 High Street as a cycle shop and garage. The gates allowed access to the rear of properties on the High Street as well as Market Street - this is now the pedestrian footway to the Bank car park. The shop marked House Furnisher, number 13 Market Street, was owned by Richard Applegarth, according to a 1908 Directory, and was built around 1880 on a site previously occupied by a hop kiln. On the left is the Plough, a timber framed building dating from the mid 17th century and used as a pub from about 1840. The tall building next door is Loe's Bakery built in 1900. Both this and the Plough were demolished in 1979 to become part of the redeveloped Boots site. The building half way up on the left, with the two bay windows, number 16 Market Street, was a newsagents opened in 1912 by Bertram Caesar, son of Julius Caesar. The tall white building next door was bought in 1855 by the Mechanics Institute. When the Institute moved to Crown Hill in 1880, the building was sold to James Butler, a grocer. By 1900 it had become a butchers shop owned by George Gates and later by E Morgan and Son.
