St Austell Market House
St Austell Market House was built in 1844 as a larger upgrade to an earlier indoor market which was in active use in 1791. The old market house only had room inside for meat, dairy, corn and potatoes. Fish and vegetables had to be sold outside. The upper floor of the new building also provided space for a Town Hall.
