Lea Market is a marketplace located in Karachi, Pakistan. It is named after a British engineer, Measham Lea, for his contributions in the development of the city.[1][2]
The vendors in the market sell dairy products, fish, meat, and vegetables.[3] There is also an old clock tower at the market.[4]
History
[edit | edit source]The marketplace was built in 1927 and was named after a British engineer, Mesham Lea.[3] It was once a major trading hub of the city.[3]
Originally, the market consisted of three two-storey buildings. An additional building was added later to accommodate meat sellers during the rule of Ayub Khan.[3]
