Darwen Market dates back to the early 19th century, reflecting the town’s growth during the Industrial Revolution. Initially, the market began as a small gathering of local traders selling goods, but it quickly expanded in response to the increasing population and demand for various products.
In 1850, the establishment of a formal market hall marked a significant development, providing a dedicated space for vendors and customers. This hall became a focal point for commerce in the area, with traders selling everything from fresh produce to textiles. Over the years, the market adapted to changing consumer needs, introducing new stalls and services.
The underground car park at Darwen Market was built in the early 2000s, specifically opening in 2004. This development aimed to enhance parking facilities in the town centre and support the local market and surrounding businesses.
