The Grainger Market first opened its doors in 1835 and since then it’s become one of Newcastle’s most-cherished places.
A maze of food, drink and shops, the indoor market is a must-visit for anyone visiting the city.
The photographs were taken by well-known local amateur photographer Jimmy Forsyth (1913-2009), who enjoyed spending time in the market talking to traders and taking their pictures.
