Market Hall 1835 - 1963

Post #110 gives a date for this photo as 1890ish, so it had already been standing for at least 60 years. Presumably, the many young lads (who outnumber adults) could be errand boys or similar, earning some welcome cash. Must have been plenty of call for erand boys. This photo shows the Worcester Street side, which in many ways, was far more impressive than the Bull Ring side.

I used to go to the market with my uncle and cousin, fish and vegetables early in the morning and there seemed to be errand boys all over. And to be a5 11/12 they all seemed to know what they were doing!
