The Protocol may be continuing to upset the apple cart, but the old Arnott’s fruit warehouse in Belfast has been renamed the Common Market as the building starts a new chapter as a street-food venue.
Organiser Will Neill insisted there was no political agenda behind the name — the old term for the EU Single Market — apart from conveying the common purpose of housing independent street-food vendors.
While not a listed building, Arnott’s has nonetheless been a distinctive feature of Dunbar Street for many years, its front wall painted in light green with a dark green ‘Arnott’s’ motif.
