Reprieve for Greenwich Market | Market People. Oct Yesterday was some of the most welcome news for market traders in a long while. Five years ago Greenwich Hospital Estates – a semi-charity overseen by the MOD, which owns most of the land in the centre of Greenwich – announced plans to redevelop the market. The plan consisted of replacing the original floor, adding a modern plastic roof, rebuilding most of the postwar buildings and replacing some of them with a boutique hotel, and bulldozing period buildings, including Edwardian stables and a banana warehouse on Durnford Street. Council officers recommended the plans, which were supported by Greenwich MP Nick Raynsford – a spokesman for the building industry who banks tens of thousands in consultancy fees from the industry each year.
