Statement of Interest

B Group with Corn Market, Market Refreshment Rooms and Livestock Sheds, New Market Road.

T P Marwick was the St Cuthbert's Association architect, c.f. his work in Bread Street. The New Market Road cattle Depot displays an interest in early Modern Movement forms and materials, particularly in the pavilions with their battered angle piers and concrete domes. Dean of Guild plans show a water tower and a further storage range within the courtyard.
