Darwen became a municipal borough in March 1878 and civic leaders decided it was necessary to procure a town hall and a market hall: the original concept was to have two separate structures but after some debate it wasdecided to have a combined facility. The scheme was subject to a design competition which was supervised by Alfred Waterhouse and won by Charles Bell. The finance for the scheme was authorised under the Over Darwen Improvement Act 1879 and, after the River Darwen had been diverted into an underground culvert, the foundation stone for the new building was laid by the mayor, Alderman William Snape on 2 October 1880. The structure was built by a local contractor, J. Orrel & Sons, and the building was officially opened by the local member of parliament, Frederick Grafton on 21 June 1882. The building served as the headquarters of Darwen Borough Council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council was formed in 1974. The council chamber became the home of Darwen Town Council when it was formed in 2009.

Solomon Andrews (5 April 1835 - 9 November 1908) was an entrepreneur and head of the Solomon Andrews and Son bus and tram-operating company, based in Cardiff. In addition to his transport interests he also developed a number of properties in Cardiff. In 1884 he constructed the Market Buildings in St Mary Street, Cardiff at a cost of some £12,000. Sadly this building was destroyed by fire in June 1885, and it had been replaced with this structure by September 1886, the new building being constructed with eight-inch-thick concrete flooring to prevent further fires. It was also decorated and inscribed to ensure that the developer would be remembered.

The Cardiff market hall was designed by the Borough Surveyor, William Harpur, and opened in May 1891. The clock (by Smith of Derby) dates from 1963 and was restored at a cost of £25,000 in 2011.

Muslim night market down the back lanes of Xian. The kebab stall was in full production.

The fleamarket at Newcastle-under-Lyme featured a lot of dinosaurs today.

After close examination of the goods, and subsequent haggling over the price, a deal is struck at the Keren camel market.

Neptune and two fishwives, complete with baskets of fish adorn the parapet above the doorway of the former Fish Market on the quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne. The building was completed in 1880 and the sculptor was George Burn. It is now a nightclub.

The old Manchester Fish Market dates from 1873 and has now been developed internally for modern apartments. The external walls survive and gables on High St have four tympana in which are scenes in stone of fishing activities by sculptor Henry Bonehill. The architects were Speakman, Son and Hickson.

One of the really good things in Macclesfield is the Cheshire Cat on the indoor market. An excellent selection of cheeses and cooked meats plus oatcakes of course. A favourite in the tarboat household is the Macclesfield Blue cheese. :-)
