An exhibition about the new developments in Wakefield, which took place in the Elizabethan Gallery on Brook Street. And then we discovered the new Food Hall is shutting...

The rubble of the old Markets area and carparks, looking across to the old Marsh Way (all that's left is the fence now the road has been pulled up and the multistorey demolished). Wakefield House in the background looks on as a substantial change in Wakefield's landscape continues...

Further photos of the demolition of Wakefield's old market. Looks like the power is now off to the old market hall building; the open carparks are now closed and dug up also.

This is the last day you can get into the old Market Hall in Wakefield - and even then I had to blag it a bit to get these photos. The final market traders were moving out, nowhere was open, and the open market had already temporarily been moved to the precinct. The new Market Hall opens on Monday apparently.

The new market hall opens in a week's time, and more of Marsh Way car park had been demolished. Already some of the area had changed since my last visit earlier on in the week - some more market stalls had disappeared as had the old burger van. Not long to go now!

The Trinity Walk redevelopment in Wakefield where the old Marsh Way multistorey car park is being demolished to make way for new shops, the new market hall which opens on 23rd June, and the old market which will soon be demolished.

The demolition of pretty much everything around Marsh Way, and some photos of remaining bits before they get demolished too.

The frame of the building on the site of the old Union Street bus station - the market hall is due to open in 2008. Photos aren't great because I only had the 50mm lens with me, but I'll go back and do more over the course of the next week.

The Tut'n'Shive pub has closed (a former haunt in my youth) and will be demolished; the 1960s market hall will be closed early next year; the site of the new market hall is now flat and ready to be built on. I pottered in to take a few archive photos before things went up and got knocked down any more.
