Smithfield Market Hall, Grade II listed market hall in Northern Quarter, Manchester, England
The Smithfield Market Hall features Neoclassical architecture with grand columns, symmetrical design, and detailed stone carvings across its exterior facade.
Constructed in 1858 by architect Sir Isaac Holden, the market hall served as Manchester's central trading hub for fresh produce and meat for over a century.
The market building influenced the development of Manchester's Italian community in Ancoats, which established a local ice cream manufacturing tradition.
Located on Swan Street, the market hall now operates as Mackie Mayor food hall, offering diverse dining options from multiple independent vendors.
The structure remains the only complete building from the original Smithfield Market complex, which once covered four and a half acres of Manchester's center.
