点评:This market has now closed down and been replaced by a new one down the road.
I travelled by bus to Oldham and found the old market building easily, walked all around it and it was a substantial red brick building market, some of the outside stalls serving food were open.
Now for its replacement. I found it difficult to find it without asking or checking the Internet.
Finally I found an entrance through a shopping centre. Only shopping centre in Oldham. Going through a shopping centre to get to a market seems very 1970s. But this new market was clean and built to a higher standard than the typical 1970s market. It reminded me of the new Bradford market, but it was only half the size of that one.
Another main entrance was at the back of the building. This entrance was grand with lots of stairs and lifts to the main market on the first floor. The ground floor only had a florist and hairdresser and a couple of cafes.
Overall the new market looks tiny compared to the old one.

我乘公交车去了奥尔德姆,很轻松地就找到了旧市场大楼。我绕着它走了一圈,发现它是一座规模宏大的红砖建筑,一些户外摊位还在营业。
现在说说它的替代市场。我发现如果不问路或者上网查,很难找到它。
最后,我通过一个购物中心找到了入口。这是奥尔德姆唯一的购物中心。穿过购物中心才能到达市场,感觉很像上世纪七十年代的风格。不过,这个新市场很干净,而且比典型的七十年代市场要好得多。它让我想起了布拉德福德的新市场,但规模只有布拉德福德新市场的一半。
另一个主入口在建筑的后面。这个入口很气派,有很多楼梯和电梯通往二楼的主市场。一楼只有一家花店、一家理发店和几家咖啡馆。
总的来说,新市场和旧市场相比显得很小。
