Market Hotel (Town Centre, OLDHAM)

The Market Hotel in the 1970s.

The Market Hotel was built in 1854 the year before Victoria Market was completed and was originally called the New Market Tavern. After the new market had been established it became the Market Hotel in 1859. Not much happened to the hotel apart from the gaining of a side aspect when a neighbouring property was demolished in 1906 to make way for a new road (Albion Street). The Market Hotel closed in 1980 and was demolished. The Halifax Building Society offices were built on the site.
