  Queen Victoria Market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Queen Victoria Market is a major landmark in Melbourne, Australia.
It is the only surviving 19th century market in the Melbourne central business district, with the fish, hay and corn, Eastern and Western markets having been demolished.
Starting as a small market to the east of the city in 1857, it gradually expanded to space made available from the closure of a cemetery west of Queen Street and north of Franklin Street.
