This is the Green Market in the Eldon Square shopping centre, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. It contained many small stalls, such as a cobblers, florists, sweet shop, and the Fish market to name a few. I assume it opened at the same time at the main shopping centre, 1977, hence why 30 years on it looks pretty dated, brown tiles being long out of fashion. These pictures were taken on Friday (26 Jan), about an hour before it closed for good, to make way for the re-development of the area and a new Debenhams. So I thought a few snaps to capture a "70s indoor market style" of the past were in order, the available light requiring a high ISO and hence post image smooth processing. The Green market stalls are now moving to the Grainger market across the road, or equally as close, a new Green market in another corner of Eldon Square.
