Behind the Guildhall is the covered market. Originally built in 1830 for the sale of foodstuff, it has digressed slightly and now contains an array of stalls, selling everything from vacuum cleaner bags to fresh fruit to dragons. A flight of stairs up to the balcony gives the best view of the market hall's most impressive feature; it's Victorian vaulted roof of iron and glass spanning 110 feet.

and I can just imagine looking down and, instead of the market, seeing a large red locomotive, stood at Platform 9 3/4.

You'd have loved the old Kirkgate Market in Bradford (sadly long gone)
