The Central Fruit and Vegetable Market at Covent Garden in London was designed by the architect Horace Jones, who later became known for his work on Tower Bridge. The market grew out of the old Covent Garden piazza trade, and by the 1880s it had outgrown its open-air stalls, prompting a new wholesale market built on a cast-iron and glass frame. Jones's design, with its arched iron roof and broad open floors, gave porters, carts and merchants a sheltered space to handle produce arriving daily from the countryside. Look closely at the structure itself, since the iron framing is as much the subject here as the market trade.
