I'm leaving for Guyana August 8th. Each weekday, I'll post some information about the country.
Stabroek Market

Carrying on with some more sights in Georgetown brings us to the Stabroek Market. The market was officially recognized in 1842 by the Georgetown Town Council. It is one of the busiest places in the city, and serves as a transportation hub (taxi, minibus and ferry) in addition to 80,000 square feet of the market itself. The current structure, including the clocktower, was designed and built from 1880-1881 by the Edgemoor Iron Company of Delaware.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find many pictures of the market itself, but I hope to remedy that problem upon arrival in Georgetown.
