Ellenborough Market

[1] Faber was criticised for shoddily constructing the market, with cracks in several parts of the walls.

[1] An extension was built next to the building in 1899, and was made using a cast iron structure from an exhibition Edinburgh.

[1] A proposal for an extension was made in 1947 to modernise the market.

[4] On 30 January 1968, the market was destroyed due to a fire and was subsequently demolished to make way for urban developments.

[1] The site of the market is currently occupied by the Swissotel Merchant Court hotel and The Central mall.
