Coal Quay Market
Stop a moment to reflect on days of old when this square was a bustling, thriving open-air market where traders known as shawlies, traded everything from salted fish, to potatoes, to onions.
Enter this magnificent, 19th Century church, designed by the world-renowned architect Pugin, with its stunning carved angels and marble pillars.
