After Dark in Old Town - Market Square

When Swans Hotel was built in 1913 it was as an extension of the grain business developed by the Peden Brothers and carried on in what is now Market Square. In the photo above you can see Swans Hotel on the far left. The photo is of the "front" of Market Square that faces the harbour. Market square is now home to many shops, boutiques and restaurants. The interior of the square (below) is used for many different kinds of events throughout the year though it is pretty quiet in the winter. Click HERE to visit the Market Square website.

  1. Funny lately I see a lot of excellent night shots. In the film area something just reserved for professional photographers. Yes there is a great progress in photography since the transition to digital. I like it.

  2. I always loved visiting Market Square. They had a pretty large bead shop down on the bottom floor. Is that still there?
