St. Michan’s Street, formerly Fisher’s Lane, was redeveloped at the end of the nineteenth century when the Wholesale Markets (now the Fruit & Vegetable Market) was constructed in 1892. The street may have referred to the fish trade in this area, as is evident from the trade records in Thom’s Directory from the mid nineteenth century, and the presence of the Fish Market to the north-west from the 1890s. The small shop with an unusual form is an important reminder of the important trade history of the wholesale market area, and its use of specially shaped brick is of technical interest and enhances the facade.
