Poskad Titchfield Market Hall


Kita lihat pula sekeping poskad yang bertarikh 22.07.1980 yang menunjukkan gambar Titchfield Market Hall From Titchfield Hampshire, England.


Market halls like this were once general throughout England. Among the earliest which have survived are several from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The majority were timber-framed. Many were demolished in the 18th and 19th centuries, since they no longer served the purpose for which they were built and were occupying space needed for other uses.

Many others were replaced by more solid buildings, with enclosed rooms taking the place of the open arcade. One by one they were transformed, lost, or, in a few cases, moved to a less valuable site. This was the fate of the Titchfield Market Hall in the middle of the last century — some two and a half centuries after it was first built.
