BRIEF HISTORY DURING THE SNOW ERA (1813-58)
The Auction Mart was a commercial building on St. Bartholomew's Lane, near the Royal Exchange and Bank of England. It was constructed by a joint stock company that was comprised of auctioneers and appears in 1829. By 1873, it had been replaced by the Alliance Bank.
The Auction Mart is not labeled in Reynold's 1859 map but is shown as a small black square below "T" in Throgmorton Street, to the right of BANK in cell K 22.
