Description

Proposed but unexecuted gateway into the fish market section of the new Carmarthen Market, designed by F. E. H. Fowler of London in 1843 and opened in 1846. As originally planner, there were to be four grand enterances but all were abandoned due to cost. This archway was to have stood in Red Street. The shield in the pediment shows 3 fish (see e.g. The Welshman, 15 May 1846). (Information supplied by Thomas Lloyd, 2009)
