Grainger Market

A cool and very rainy day in Newcastle today.  At least the fruit and veg brightened the place up.  

I always enjoy a little look in the Grainger Market - it was designed by John Dobson and opened in 1835.  Originally, it was divided into two parts - a meat market and a fruit and veg market.  Although there are still stalls selling meat and veg there is also a fish market and lots of stalls selling street food, real ale, clothes, pet supplies, books etc.  It's a real treasure trove.  

In recent years it has received grants totalling £9 million which is intended to breath new life into the much loved market.
