Description: | The principal market is the Norfolk Market Hall, built upon the site of the old Tontine Hotel by the Duke of Norfolk, who gave for the property, and afterwards expended in the new erections. It was opened at Christmas, 1851, and is 296 feet long, 115 wide, and 45 feet high in the centre. The interior is occupied with stalls and shops, and contains a handsome fountain. The Corn Exchange is an imposing building, situated at a short distance from the market hall, and was built in 1830. The New Hay Market is immediately adjoining the corn exchange. The Cattle Market and Fair Ground is situated near the Victoria railway station. The Shambles, which have been rebuilt within a few years, are on the lower side of the Post-Office, and are the property of the Duke of Norfolk. The building contains also a Poultry Market, affording great accommodation to both the traders and the public. Mr. J. Bedford, superintendent of the markets; office, 21, Market hall. | Format: | Please select | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
