Leather Lane Market

Leather Lane market, located in the heart of the city is a strictly lunchtime affair attracting city workers looking for a spot to eat or a browse amongst the shoes, handbags, plants, fruit, vegetables, women's wear and jewellery.

Despite the name of the market its 300-year history was not based around the leather trade, rather the name was derived from the name of a local merchant Le Vrunelane, after many other derivatives it changed from Lovrelane, to Liver Lane then to the current branding Leather Lane.

The market is open from 10.30am to 2.30pm Monday to Friday so get down there and treat yourself to some cut-price ladies wear.
