Not far from the City Quays side of the Maritime Mile is the Markets area. Located at the edge of the River Lagan, the Market Community is one of the oldest working-class communities in Belfast. It was once a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial sites, from various markets, to linen mills, distilleries, and foundries. St George’s Market, a covered Victorian market building, was constructed in the 1890s, on the site of a market dating back to 1604. St George’s is still in use today as a general market, selling some of the country’s best local produce and well worth a visit.
Much of the area has been redeveloped into modern housing and office buildings, and there are plans to embrace areas such as the tunnels in the archways under East Bridge Street. There are even stunning examples of Georgian architecture in the nearby streets.
