    Billingsgate and Smithfield markets were designed by Victorian Architect Sir Horace Jones.
    The Smithfield markets, a meat market in London were completed in November 1868 at a cost of £993,816. This building was subsequently destroyed by a major fire in 1958 and was replaced by the current building in 1962.
    Billingsgate market was built by John Mowlem and was opened in 1876. It was known as Blynesgate which was originally a general market for corn, coal, iron, wine, salt, pottery, fish and miscellaneous goods which later became the United Kingdom’s largest inland fish market.
