Abstract: |
This group of four structures, comprising (in order of construction) the General Market, a triangular block, the Annexe Market and the Red House Cold Store, were built between 1879 and 1899 for the Corporation of the City of London, all to serve the London Central Markets at Smithfield. The two markets, though originally intended for other purposes, were mainly used by the meat and poultry trade until their closure in the 1990s. The Red House was built as a consequence of the introduction of refrigerated storage at Smithfield. Largely disused, its basement remains in use as a document store. The triangular block, built as offices and toilets, was shut in the 1990s. |
