Named after Bombay's first municipal commissioner, Arthur Crawford, the Crawford Market is at the northern end of the old British part of the town, and faces the crowded inner city. An elegant, covered market, it dominates the skyline with its clock tower and steeple. The spaces inside are divided into sections for fruits, vegetables and meat. Its design is a mix of Flemish and Norman architecture designed by Lockyard Kipling, father of Rudyard Kipling. And Kiplings' cottage still stands next to the JJ School of Arts across the road. Over the years, the market has extended into the neighbouring streets and into selling every possible thing on the planet. It is a wholesaler's dream come true and a middle-class household's answer for inexpensive products. It's madness to step into the overcongested streets of this market...oh! but what a thrill.
