New covered market at Darlington, 1864. Creator: Unknown
New covered market at Darlington, 1864. The rapid growth and largely increasing population of Darlington and its vicinity have been the means of inducing the Local Board of Health to erect the handsome and commodious new covered market of which we give an Engraving. This building is on the verge of completion, and was successfully opened by the Christmas show of the Northern Counties Fat Stock and Poultry Society, held on the 9th, 10th, and 11th December. The event was rendered all the more auspicious in consequence of the show being unusually large. Almost all classes of animals were better and more numerously represented than on any previous occasion, whilst the entries for poultry were nearly doubled, auguring a future of celebrity equal to that of Birmingham'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur of the new covered market at Darlington in 1864. The Local Board of Health's decision to erect this handsome and commodious building was a response to the rapid growth and increasing population of Darlington and its vicinity. The market, on the verge of completion, was opened with great fanfare during the Christmas show of the Northern Counties Fat Stock and Poultry Society.
The event was a resounding success, with a large turnout that exceeded all expectations. Animals from all classes were well represented, making it one of the most impressive shows in recent memory. The entries for poultry were nearly doubled, hinting at a future filled with even more acclaim for this bustling market.
The architectural style of the market is distinctly Victorian Gothic, with intricate details such as a clock tower adding to its charm. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" showcases not just a building but also a piece of history that reflects the prosperity and progress of Darlington in the 19th century.
This print serves as a reminder of how markets have long been central hubs for trade and community gatherings, playing an essential role in shaping local economies and cultures.
