Alternative nameThe HaymarketThe Hay MarketDescription
This collection contains a small selection of archives relating to the cattle and corn markets, known as The Haymarket.
In 1829 the valley below Brickfield Hill was designated as a site for cattle and corn markets, known as The Haymarket. In the 1840s, corn was traded along Campbell Street between George and Pitt streets, with cattle markets occupying the next block, between Pitt and Castlereagh streets. When the City of Sydney was established in 1842 it took ownership of the land and markets.
In the 1870s the cattle markets were replaced by new fruit and vegetable markets, known as the Belmore Markets.
