The Market Hall High Street entrance during the 1930's. The
hall was built in 1804 opposite the Guildhall and ran between the
High Street and the Shambles. However an extra wing opened in 1881
and ran through to Pump Street, the entrance of which can still be
seen today. The only remnant left of the hall in the High street is
a clock which was given by Richard Padmore in 1849. Although it is
not pictured, the clock hung for many years over the hall entrance
and today can still be seen hanging over the entrance
of the new City Arcade.
