HALIFAX BOROUGH MARKET
Market Arcade
The impressive Borough Market which dominates the town centre was erected in 1896
and opened by the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George V and Queen Mary).
The exquisite Victorian Architecture which envelops the building gives the market a striking appearance.
This is tempered by its warm and friendly market atmosphere.
In its entirety the Halifax Borough Market is probably one of the finest Victorian buildings in the whole of Britain,
and remains to a considerable extent in its original state. Due to this fact it is becoming increasingly
regarded as building of great architectural and historical interest: hence its Grade II listing.
Today the Market throngs with the hustle and bustle of commercial retail activity.
