Comments

Western Market (South Block) "reconstructed in 1858 consisted of several small primitive sheds and shops. The market ground was almost entirely enclosed by privately owned buildings fronting Queen's Road, Bonham Strand and Morrison Street, and the market could only be accessed through narrow alleyways."
