City of London votes to close Smithfield meat market Plans to move trading halls to a new, modern facility in Dagenham were shelved earlier this month

City of London votes to close Smithfield meat market. Smithfield has been the site of livestock trading since the 1100s. It became a meat market in the Victorian period, when bringing livestock into the growing city became impractical. #SmithfieldMarket
