The Borough Market has been in the news for all the wrong
reasons over the last 12 months as traders succumb to the global retail
downturn and criticise the market’s custodians for embarking on “corporate”
improvements to a traditional market. Disaffection by some senior traders has
resulted in them moving to a nearby alternative market.
It is hoped that all that turmoil will be put behind the
market as it prepares to re-open in an updated structure including the
glasshouse frontage shown in our photo.
