Old Billingsgate Market is the name given to what is now a hospitality and events venue in the City of London, based in the Victorian building that was originally Billingsgate Fish Market, the world's largest fish market in the 19th century. The first Billingsgate Market building was constructed on Lower Thames Street in 1850 by the builder John Jay, and the fish market was moved off the streets into its new riverside building. This was demolished in around 1873 and replaced by an arcaded market hall designed by City architect Horace Jones and built by John Mowlem & Co. in 1875, the building that still stands on the site today.〔(History of Billingsgate ) accessed 21 May 2007〕 In 1982, the fish market itself was relocated to a new site on the Isle of Dogs in east London. The 1875 building was then refurbished by architect Richard Rogers, originally to provide office accommodation. Now used as an events venue, it remains a major London landmark and a notable Grade II listed building. ==Gallery== Image:Old Billingsgate Market Mars 2014 02.jpg|Thames facing (south) view of the market Image:Old billingsgate market london.jpg|Thames facing (south) view of the market Image:Old billingsgate london weathervane.jpg|Weathervane detail Image:Old billingsgate market door detail.jpg|Door detail 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Old Billingsgate Market」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
