Waverley Market

History

    

Waverley Market

Nineteenth Century

The Waverley Market opened in 1869. In 1877 the market was roofed over and made available for travelling exhibitions, touring funfairs and menageries.

When these events were held at the market, the resident stallholders were often evicted into the street to sell their wares!

Twentieth Century

I have just searched the Scran web site for images of Waverley Market and found about 400 images.  These include some views of the roof garden above the market and many photos of exhibitions and shows that have been held at the market.

Most of the photos are from the archives of Scotsman Publications.  Some of the exhibitions at Waverley Market were sponsored by The Dispatch, a newspaper that was absorbed into The Scotsman Group.

The table below lists all the exhibitions at Waverley Market that I found images of on the Scran web site, followed by a few more recent photos, also found on the Scran web site.

Today

The Waverley Market closed in 1977.

-   It re-opened as Waverley Market Shopping Centre in 1984.

-  Following a major refurbishment in the 1990s its name was changed to Waverley Shopping Centre.

-  Following another refurbishment in the early-2000s, its name was changed again, to Princes Mall.
