Located on the corner of Walcot Street and Beehive Yard, this is the western end of a 55 metre long building, built in 1855, extending to the west bank of the River Avon. Its size, and that of the adjacent yard, indicate the importance of Bath as an agricultural centre in the mid 19th century, and of this part of the city as a long-established market area. Cotterell's 1852 plan of Bath shows a cattle market nearby.
