TRADITIONAL MARKETS

Jersey illustrator Lauren Radley has brought to life representations of six of the traditional stalls found in Jersey’s Central and Beresford Street markets, perfectly capturing the lively atmosphere and range of colourful, local produce.

Jersey’s Central Market and Beresford Street Market are found just a short walk from each other in the town of St. Helier and have been home to Island vendors since the 1800s. Jersey’s Central Market is an outstanding example of a Victorian open market and was built as part of the States of Jersey’s Battle of Jersey centenary celebration. Construction started in 1881 and took two years to complete. The Beresford Street Market is located opposite Jersey’s Central Market and is better known as ‘The Fish Market’. Covering around 10,000 square feet, the market was built in 1841 and restored in 1873, 1936 and again in 1972.
