Flea market stall holders

City Hall was built in 1846 to house the headquarters of the local council. In the early 20th century, civic leaders decided to make the market hall at the rear of the complex available for public use. This resulted in the market hall operating as a skating rink in 1907 and then as a cinema in 1912. The market hall was then remodelled as a theatre with a stage in 1925 and, following a period of neglect in the 1960s, served as a flea market in the 1970s. Listed here are the stall holders who had paid a fee to sell at the flea market which was held at City Hall on Saturday the 30th of March. The numbers in the first column correspond with the layout of stalls in the market hall.
