Rotherham’s indoor market has temporarily relocated to a new building in the town centre to allow for upgrade work.
Traders from the Howard Street site have spent the past week moving stock to the new Market Hall building on Drummond Street which opens to the public on Friday.
Work will now begin revamping the existing market which will reopen in 2027 as a fully refurbished facility, providing an improved long-term home for traders and customers.
The project is part of a multi million-pound development of the area which will include a new central library plus a community hub and a revamped outdoor market that could be used for exhibitions and events.
The entrance to the Market Hall will be on the corner of Drummond Street and Eastwood Lane, with access through landscaped gardens and a new outdoor space where a number of market stalls will be based.
A temporary mobility access entrance will also be available on Henry Street opposite Tesco, and clear signage will help residents, shoppers and families find their way.
