Description: "The English Market, Ireland's most famous food emporium, has been serving the city of Cork since 1788. It has stubbornly survived revolution and war, fire and famine, depression and boom, changing tastes and intensifying competition, and a rapidly developing food and retail environment." "The story of the market is in many ways the story of Cork. Capturing the tastes and smells of this central part of Cork life, Serving a City is fully illustrated, featuring images of the market, past and present - its architecture, stallholders, customers and products."--Jacket.
