1873 fish market


There are lots of these lovely sculptures at the top of the walls around what was the fish market and which now conceal the courtyard of a modern apartment block. It was opened 139 years ago tomorrow!

It's in the Northern Quarter and here is a fascinating 20 minute documentary on the area's chequered history and how it developed into the vibrant and creative area it is today.
