The Fleet Market was a market erected in 1736 on the newly culverted River Fleet.   Work had begun in 1734 to arch over the River Fleet which had become an open sewer requiring considerable expense to clear of rubbish and filth. The course of the river was covered between Holborn Bridge and Fleet Bridge (now Ludgate Circus). The market, consisting of two rows of open one–storey shops linked by a covered walkway, opened on 30 September 1737. By 1829, the market had become dilapidated, and, being an obstacle to the increasing volume of traffic, was cleared for the construction of Farringdon Road.  Farringdon Market was constructed to replace it, but was never successful.
