Description
1877, cast iron canopy recovered from Old Market Hall.
Produced at the Sun Foundry in Glasgow by George Smith & Co. The Glasgow Sun Foundry produced a range of excellent designs for gates, railings, bandstands, and their specialty, ornamental fountains.
In 2023, the Canopy was removed for safe storage due to the Galleries redevelopment, the intention is to relocate within the new development. Currently, the exact location is still under discussion.
