Passing foot traffic is seen at street level on Middle Gate. This building, at the rear of the Town Hall, was designed as a covered market hall and it opened in 1884. Its architect was Grantham born-and-educated Charles Bell (1846–1899) who designed many buildings nationwide, including over 60 Wesleyan Methodist chapels. In 1870 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects and started an independent practice in London. This market was developed into a complex of small shops and a restaurant/café in 1990.
