Paddy's Markets Haymarket

other

The corrugated iron roof of Paddy’s Markets stretches across an entire city block, sitting low and wide against the glass towers of Haymarket. This structure shelters the oldest continuing market in Sydney. It began in the nineteenth century when stallholders gathered near the George Street docks, eventually moving into this purpose-built shed in nineteen seventy-five. Inside, the aisles hold rows of cheap trinkets, fresh produce, and knockoff clothing that have defined the shopping experience here for generations of bargain hunters.
