OS 25" map (1961)
Pagan and Paterson state that the Meal Market was built in 1586, replaced in 1662, and removed in 1843; it existed before this, though perhaps not as a building. In the 19th century it was a huge, strong, square building, open on Tuesdays and Fridays for the sale of cereal produce. Its site is now occupied by Winton Buildings.
