MEMBERS of the public have taken a peek at rarely-seen parts of Huddersfield's Queensgate Market.
On Saturday, Kirklees Council gave interested people a behind-the-scenes tour of the 1970s market hall.
They visited parts of the building which are rarely seen by shoppers and stallholders.
These included the central elevated glass box office and first-floor licensing offices.
The visitors also got a sneaky peek at the basement.
The tour, organised by the council, was part of a consultation exercise to see if people thought the market should become a listed building.
The Government's Department of Culture, Media and Sport recently said it plans to list the market and the nearby Library and Art Gallery as buildings of architectural and historical interest.
But because the market was built after the Second World War public consultation has to be carried out before it can be listed.
Chris Marsden, of pressure group Huddersfield Gem, said he hoped the tour would prompt people to give their opinions.
He added: "We encourage anyone with an interest in buildings to take this opportunity."
The listing plans could scupper council ideas for redeveloping the Queensgate and Piazza area, as some of the options include knocking down the market hall.
Anyone with comments should send them to Team Leader, Listing Section, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2-4 Cockspur Street, London SW1Y 5DH. The deadline for comments is November 26.
