The Hogg
Market better known as New Market, is arguably one of Calcutta's
best shopping centres. Designed by an East Indian Railway Company
architect, it was opened in 1874 and named after the
commissioner, Sir Stuart Hogg. Earlier it had a garden with a
beautiful fountain & benches for tired shoppers. Today, it
continues to be a premier shopping area despite a part of it being
incinerated in late 1985. Its red-brick Gothic clock-tower bears
testimony to the past grandeur. Linen to cakes, fruits to fishes
everything is available here at a reasonable price. There are
2000 stalls which are arranged in an order of merchandize. There
are rows of stalls
dealing with one particular line of goods.
