Name/TitleCastlemaine Market
About this objectGlass slide of a photograph of the market at 44 Mostyn Street, and the shops further along the street, looking towards the hills behind the town.
The Castlemaine Market originally contained 22 shops for the sale of local fresh foods and products. It was one of three market buildings arranged geometrically around an arcaded water tank built over the town well in Market Square. The two earliest red brick market buildings, known as East and West Markets, were erected in 1858 to the design of Edmund Spencer, the town surveyor. In 1861/2 an imposing North Market, the present Classical Revival building, was designed by the town surveyor, William Beynon Downe.
