- The present buildings were designed in 1851 by Henry Rose, with further work in 1863-64 by Edward Habershon.
- Both architects were chiefly associated with ecclesiastical designs, which accounts for the ‘Gothic’ character of some of the market buildings, particularly the elaborate wrought ironwork.
- There is a bell in Middle Road in the market. Traditionally, a bailiff used to ring a bell to announce the start and the end of the day’s trading — it was one of the rules of the market when the current market was founded in 1857.
