5 the Campbell Street Market

The Campbell Street Market was originally known as the Carnavon Street Market, as it straddles both streets. The Municipal government erected a market building along with the police station, which still occupies the lot behind the market. The Campbell Street Market was built in the Victorian style around 1900. This market building is probably the oldest in George Town. The front facade faces the junction of Lebuh Carnavon, Lebuh Campbell and Lebuh Buckingham. There is an arch window at the pediment.Market is in session in the morning. During that time, a section of Carnarvon Street is also taken over by the market, with stalls lining the street all the way from Chulia Street to Kampung Kaka.
