Building a history - the history of a building
Can you help us track all the events that have happened at the Market Hall and all the groups that have used it over the years?
Market Hall has a long and rich history of hosting arts, cultural and community events. Unfortunately, it does not have a complete history of all that activity. Numerous groups and organizations have owned, managed and used Market Hall over the years, not only since it became an arts centre in 1984, but going back to its opening as a market in 1890. But we don't know exactly who they are and what they have done. Do you?
We are mainly interested in two time periods: 1890 to 1984, before it became a full time arts centre, and the period 1984 to 1998, before Market Hall was operated by its present management group.
