The South Melbourne Market The South Melbourne Market is the oldest market continuing still operating in Melbourne. The market was built next to the York St and the St Kilda railway lines it was opened in 1867 and many people went to shop in the market after some time the first carpark had to be expanded so that more people can park. but in the 1870's they had to make a 2 story carpark and in the 1980's The original A and B Sheds in Coventry Street were destroyed by fire in the 1980s and rebuilt. And in the 1990's The land in York Street adjacent to the current buildings was used as the City of South Melbourne’s Works Depot for many years and cleared to build the present asphalted car park in the early 1990s. The Food Hall in Coventry Street was added in the mid 1990s, replacing part of the original market structure.
