Old Fishmarket, Glasgow
Print £60 · Original £480
The Old Fishmarket, known as the Briggait, stands on Clyde Street by the River Clyde, near the Saltmarket in Glasgow's Merchant City. The main hall was designed by Clarke and Bell and opened in 1873, with a galleried trading floor under a cast-iron and glass roof, and further market halls were added in 1889, 1904 and 1914. It served as the city's wholesale fish market for over a century, until 1976.
The building encloses the Merchants' Steeple of 1659, all that remains of the Merchants' Guild Hall and one of the few surviving 17th-century structures in Glasgow. The Briggait is Category A listed and is now home to artists' studios as the headquarters of Wasps.
Pen and watercolour painting by Glasgow artist John Gahagan, part of his series of Scottish cityscapes.
Available as the hand-painted original or as a Giclée fine art print. Both are A3 portrait (297 × 420 mm) and sold unframed.
