The building in the right foreground is now the Air and Space Gallery of the Museum of Science and Industry. It began life as Lower Campfield Market (c1878) and is constructed of cast iron columns and wrought iron girders. It was enclosed in the late nineteenth century and became known as City Hall. It was the venue for a regular Christmas circus and was then used for many years as an exhibition hall. After its closure in 1977 it was restored in the early 1980s as the Air and Space Museum.
