Lau Pa Sat

 

 

 

 

Formerly Telok Ayer Market. The Chinese term Lau Pa Sat means "old market".

Octagonal cast iron market hall, conceptualized in 1894 by the city engineer James MacRitchie, who took the idea from a building of the architect George Drumgoole Coleman, which had been torn down in 1879. The market hall was reconstructed during the 1980s and became a Food Centre in 1995.
