Last Saturday market, Market Square, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, 17th November 1928.
Last Saturday market, Market Square, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, 17th November 1928. The idea of a new complex to replace the Exchange which stood on the eastern side of the Market Square was approved by the Council on 1st. December 1924 and the contract was let in May 1925. The building that replaced the Exchange was the Council House, pictured here under construction. Designed by Thomas Cecil Howitt in Neo-Baroque style, it was the largest stone building which had been built in Britain since the First World War. On its completion, it was opened by the Prince of Wales, later Duke of Windsor, on 22nd May 1929. This view shows the last Saturday market (east aspect) from Beast Market Hill.
