Opening the new Market-Hall, Southport, 1881. 'On Wednesday of last week, the town was enlivened by much festivity, upon the double occasion of the opening of the northern extension of the promenade by the Earl of Lathom, and the opening of the new markets by the Earl of Derby. The latter range of buildings, which have been erected in classic style from the designs of Messrs. Mellor and Sutton, local architects, arc situate in Eastbank-street, but with streets on two other sides, and there are no fewer than thirteen entrances. At the centre door in Eastbank-street are pilasters and columns supporting figures of Flora and Ceres, and over this entrance is a pediment, and scroll case, containing a clock, the pediment crowned with a sculptured group. Behind this is an octagonal dome covered with zinc of fishplate pattern...The market was gaily decorated'. (The market was destroyed by a fire in 1913). From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
