A fresh look<br />
for Rotherham Market<br />
Rotherham has been a market town for over 800<br />
years when its original Royal Market Charter was<br />
granted by King John in 1207.<br />
Since then, it has constantly<br />
evolved. From the initial wooden<br />
market house that was once on<br />
the site of the Town Hall, to the<br />
Shambles where the Imperial<br />
Buildings now stands, and the old<br />
market hall on Domine Lane; the<br />
current Centenary Market opened in<br />
the early ‘70s.<br />
But now, a new era for Rotherham<br />
Market begins as enabling works<br />
start on the ambitious regeneration<br />
plan which forms a key part of the<br />
Town Centre Masterplan.<br />
In May last year, Rotherham<br />
Council was awarded £12.6m from<br />
the Future High Streets Fund to<br />
transform the town centre, with the<br />
markets playing an important role.<br />
Plans for the redevelopment and repurposing<br />
of the markets complex<br />
include a relocated central library,<br />
new community hub, extensive<br />
public realm and improved links to<br />
the town centre and college.<br />
The outdated markets building<br />
will be modernised, providing a new<br />
and improved space for traders and<br />
shoppers, with easier access for all.<br />
Moving the library back into<br />
the town centre provides an ideal<br />
opportunity to create a community<br />
hub in a more central location and<br />
key area of the town.<br />
Demolition works are due to start<br />
imminently, although shoppers<br />
will still be able to fully access the<br />
markets complex.<br />
With a six-day shopping<br />
experience bringing together an<br />
indoor market, covered outdoor<br />
market and weekly street market,<br />
you’re guaranteed to discover<br />
something different.<br />
