A row of fire damaged market sheds/stalls on Avenue E of this former Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market site (c.1900 & updated in 1938). The "Chiltern Carpets" sign confirms the fact that following the transfer of the Fruit & Vegetable Market to Lenton (date ?) retailers were permitted to rent out single units and/or clusters of enclosed stalls. Many non fire-damaged units are still operational whilst others are boarded up. The potential of this site as a "Covent Garden-type" development/resurrection opportunity has been recognised and currently the word-on-the-street is that Northern Rock (now owned by Virgin Money Personal Financial Service Ltd) have purchased the rights to redevelop it.
