NEATH INDOOR MARKET, 16 GREEN STREET, NEATH.
Neath General Market is a traditional covered market for
top quality local produce. It is housed in a building dating from
1837. Renovated in 1904, the market is an eclectic place where you
can find a hyper trendy posh hat and bag boutique next to a
butchers' counter.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, florists, children's fashions and
welsh crafts vie for attention - while your hunger pangs can be
eased in one of the cafes selling traditional Welsh food along with
other modern classics.
The Victorian Market is in the heart of the town and is one of
very few of its kind left in Wales, situated in Green Street, it
has been providing goods and visitors for 170 years. It was built
in 1837 at a cost of £1650 and for a number of years it was a
series of covered stalls around an open space.
In 1904 the present building was completed at a cost between
£7000-£8000. In 1999, a new roof was built and the frontage
improved for the Millennium retaining the victorian features and
the unique atmosphere in this ancient borough. There is a wide
range of stalls - more than 50 in total, ranging from the
traditional faggots and peas to flowers, butchers to books and
clothing and Welsh craft. Many of the businesses operating in the
market have been handed down from generation to generation.
