St Nicholas Market and Air Raid Shelter Walking Tour
Overview
St Nicholas Market has been trading since the mid-18th century, and shows no sign of slowing down. It's easy enough to explore this on your own, but for more exciting and mysterious adventures, try one of these tours of the secret passageways and WW2 air raid shelters that lie beneath the Corn Exchange. During the 1960s the Corn Exchange was a music venue, seeing performances from the likes of The Rolling Stones and The Steam Packet. You'll learn about that too.
