Traders at Newry Market have spoken of their despair at the dwindling customer numbers and interest in the city's market.
With around 100 years of history behind it, the market is now in dire shape and one trader said it "appears to be on its knees".
Sitting just off John Mitchell Place, the market area is housed in by beautiful vaulted wooden and glass ceilings, but many of the stalls beneath them sat empty at Thursday's market.
