Description: | Between 1834 and 1839, the centre of Newcastle was rebuilt by the developer Richard Grainger. The scheme replaced the old medieval layout of the town with wide streets and impressive buildings. The Grainger Market was at the heart of Grainger's redevelopment. It was designed by the Newcastle architect John Dobson. The market contained meat shops around the walls, and a vegetable market in the centre of the building. The Grainger Market was built for the Newcastle Corporation, and was opened with a big banquet in 1835. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement artists living in the North East buildings and views art designers Newcastle men shopping | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
