An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Paddy's Market was a historic market on Shipbank Lane in Glasgow, Scotland. It had been in existence at a variety of locations throughout the city for almost 200 years. It was mentioned in newspapers in Britain and Australia in 1849, when a gust of wind blew away clothes at the market. In its final years, the market had been criticised as being a focus for crime and illegal activity including drug dealing (and the associated crime in stolen goods). However, many traders expressed contempt for the addicts who congregate there and who felt had dragged down the market's reputation.

Paddy's Market was closed by Glasgow City Council on 15 May 2009, when they took over the lease on the current site from Network Rail. The move had been fiercely criticised by many traders who had a procession to the City Chambers. A proposal was made to reopen the market in 2016, but in 2020 the area was still fenced off and advertised for leasing. (en)
