Crawford Market: Named after Arthur Crawford - Bombay’s first municipal commissioner, Crawford Market is the wholesale market for fresh fruits and vegetables in Mumbai.
Crawford Market was set up in the building donated by Cowasji Jehangir to the city. It was the main wholesale market for fruits in Mumbai until 1996. Now renamed as Jyotiba Phule Market, Crawford market is poised between what was once the British Fort and the Local town. Crawford Market is a blend of Flemish and Norman architecture with a bas-relief. It is a wholesale market for fruits, vegetables, flowers, meat and poultry products. If you visit only one market, make it Crawford Market (Lokmanya Tilak Marg and Dr. Dadabhai Naoroji Rd.; Mon-Sat 11:30am-8pm), Mumbai’s quintessential fresh-produce shopping experience.
Crawford Market looks like something out of Victorian London, with its sweet smell of hay and 50 ft high sky lit awning that bathes the entire place in natural sunlight. Mountains of fruit and fresh vegetables are sold here at wholesale rates and next door there’s also meat and poultry section along with stalls selling smuggled cheese and chocolate. Crawford Market is at the northern end of the old British part of the town, facing the crowded inner city. An elegant covered market, it dominates the skyline with its clock tower and steeple. Crawford Market, also known as Jyotiba Phule Market, situated at the junction of Dadabhoy Naoroji Road and Carnac Road was built in 1871. The market is in the center of a whole network of lanes where the shopper can pick up almost anything.
