At the west end of Victoria Street is a new Indian market, built in 1973 after a fire destroyed the original buildings. Although the modern building lacks the charm of the old market stalls, it is still a fascinating mix of Africa and the Orient. There are around 180 stalls selling basketwork and brassware, wood articles as well as meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. The stalls' main attractions are the exotic spices and dried beans imported from India. They are ideal for making curries, and cooks will find them invaluable if staying in self-catering accommodation. The souvenir stalls display a great deal of rubbish, but it is possible, with a bit of luck, to find some very attractive items.
