Case Study
Blackburn Market
Project Overview The covered market forms part of an £8 million investment for the regeneration of the town centre and included a shopping centre (The Mall Blackburn), college redevelopment, the refurbished heritage building (Exchange Arcade) and surrounding public space (Fleming Square). The market stalls have moved from the old Penny Street market, which opened in the 1960s, to the market hall under The Mall with direct access to the centre’s department stores and shops. The space is modern, bright and spacious, but retains a traditional market feel with more than 120 stalls selling locally sourced fresh produce including fish, meat, game, fruit and vegetables. Customer Needs • The design and installation of a fire alarm and evacuation system to ensure the safe communication
