The colour scheme adopted along this stretch of enclosed market stalls on "Avenue E" suggests that these units are being rented and used by a single stall-holder whereas in other avenues observers will notice multiple single stalls and smaller clusters of stall-holdings. However, in any single avenue some of the stalls can be seen 'boarded up' whilst others are evidently very obviously in use. Inaugurated in 1900 & updated in 1938 these sheds were designed to accommodate the wholesale fruit and vegetable market that previously functioned in Nottingham's Market Square. However, following the transfer of this 'perishables' market to Lenton, retailers have been permitted to rent these sheds and stalls instead.
