Warrington Market black plaque

This black commemorative plaque records: Warrington Market Place By the mid 1830s this open area was the scene of Warrington weekly food markets, fortnightly cattle sales and occasional cloth fairs. Today only the Old Fish Market, part of the covered Market Hall opened in 1856, remains together with the old half-timbered building traditionally known as "The Barley Mow Inn".

Warrington Market Place has been a vital commercial hub since the mid-1830s, hosting weekly food markets, fortnightly cattle sales, and occasional cloth fairs, reflecting its significance in local economic history.
