Sheffield markets: the end is nigh?

When Chris Downer submitted his photo Image in 2008 he described the Castle Market as "thriving". Four years later it was closed, the steps to the upper level barricaded off (but still stinking of urine) and despite the "to let" sign (left of photo) I doubt that anything other than demolition and redevelopment awaits it.
