This was transformed some years ago from one of Birkenhead's most run down streets to one which is attractive and bustling. As the name suggests, the road originally led to the old market which was fire damaged in 1969 and 1974, see http://www.birkenheadmarket.co.uk/index.asp?page=3 However, the first market was actually in the space where the Wirral Museum (old town hall) is.
