Biggleswade: The Market House
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 11 Nov 2007
Originally built in 1565 as an administrative building for Biggleswade's market, The Market House was moved and substantially reconstructed in 1937 in order to accommodate the widening of the High Street, which was at that time on the old A1 road to the north from London. The original 16th century oak-framed roof was however preserved in the building in its new location. The building is now the home of the Peking Diner and Acorn Estate Agents.
