Old Hereford Market

View all projects

This new quarter develops the site of Hereford's old livestock market and extends the medieval urban structure of Hereford with new streets, spaces and buildings designed in proportion with the city's historic urban townscape. The scheme, designed by Allies and Morrison in collaboration with Leslie Jones Architects, includes a cinema, a food store, a department store, restaurants and retail units serviced by a new city car park. Hereford's inner ring road, Newmarket Street, had previously isolated the site from the centre; its character has now been transformed from an urban highway to a city street by new surfaces, generous crossings and trees.
