Birmingham Market Hall, Market hall in Bull Ring area, Birmingham, England.
The Birmingham Market Hall, constructed with Bath Stone, stretched 365 feet in length and 180 feet in width, reaching a height of 60 feet.
Opening in February 1835, the Market Hall operated until 1940 when German incendiary bombs during World War II left only the exterior walls standing.
The market contained 600 stalls, introducing fresh fish to local diets and serving as a central meeting point for Birmingham residents through the Victorian era.
The hall featured modern amenities including gas lighting, water supply, and heating systems to support vendors and customers throughout the trading hours.
A bronze fountain commemorating local industries stood at the center of the hall from 1851 until 1880, representing Birmingham's industrial heritage.
