This beautiful indoor market with a central glazed dome dates from the 19th century and is the oldest shopping venue in the city. A market has traded on this site, which is near both the Abbey and the famous Pulteney Bridge, for the last 800 years.

Surviving from the 18th century is the ‘Nail’, a table on which market transactions took place, hence the saying, ‘pay on the nail’. Today a colourful group of 20 or so stall holders trade from this jewel of Bath. Judy and I enjoyed a snack and a drink at the little cafe on the right.
