Blackburn, Market 1894

More about this scene
Blackburn had two markets, the indoor market and an open air one, held every Wednesday and Saturday, when this photograph was taken. Friday was later added to the open market days. Our photograph shows the open market in New Market Street. Here we see the Market Hall (or House) from the rear, and we can also see the back of the Town Hall; its 20ft-high wall guards a courtyard. It was the Market Square that hosted the Blackburn Fair, which was held by Charter every Easter Monday, and then on 11 and 12 May, and also the Winter Fair every 17 October.
