Market Street, Manchester

Some of modern Market Street is a pedestrian zone with motor vehicle access limited to the emergency services, maintenance workers and deliveries to the adjacent shops.

Dominating the entire north side of this section is the Manchester Arndale Centre, an indoor shopping complex.

Throughout the pedestrian zone there can often be found a large number of street traders and entertainers.

Such entertainers have in the past included traditional buskers, bagpipes players and string quartets.

This western section of Market Street is lined with a Marks & Spencer department store on its north side and another series of smaller shops to the south.
