Roll up! Plymouth’s pannier market has something for everyone. Many city centre buildings lay destroyed in the aftermath of the Second World War and attention turned to city centre reconstruction. Shopkeepers and traders had set up in Tin Pan Alley on Drake Street during the war and continued trading. Local architects Walls and Pearn engaged Ken Bingham and Albin Chronowicz to oversee the building of the Pannier Market which Lord Mayor Percival Washbourn opened in 1959.
