This has a basic 'Y' shape. An internal roadway is displayed for buyers while deliveries are made around the perimeter of the building. The internal roadway has a clear span of 15 metres and the depth of each stall is 28 metres including an unsecured night unloading area. There are two basic sizes of units - with frontages of either 7.2 or 5.5 metres. In order to accommodate smaller companies, a number of basic units in the central area have been divided into small halls - these are intersected by additional buying and trucking corridors. Improvements in 1995 now mean the Markets meet E.U. Hygiene of Foodstuffs Directive standards. Although the Horticultural Market is a large single-storey building, office facilities are provided along the perimeter - at mezzanine level. There are toilets off the stairways, with more toilets plus snack bars located around the perimeter. |
