The Grainger Market, a Grade I listed building, is a permanent covered market and has been at the heart of Newcastle life since 1835. It was part of the redevelopment of Newcastle by Richard Grainger and his architect John Dobson. At the time it sold mainly meat and vegetables. The market still retains its traditional feel and houses a number of unique features including a fish market, the world's smallest and oldest branch of Marks and Spencer which has traded since 1895 and the unique weigh-house.
