TEC4659947: Le Pavillon Baltard des Halles de Paris in Nogent sur Marne (Val de Marne). Construction 1854-1866, architect Victor Balard (1805-1874) and Felix Emmanuel Callet (1791-1854). In 1962, he decided to transfer the Marche des Halles to the Marche d'Interet National de Rungis. In 1969, the transfer being made, the Halles were chosen to demolish. There is only one exile in Nogent sur Marne. Before agreement is reached on what should be done above the underground station and the shopping centre of the Forum des Halles, there will be a hole in the middle of Paris, the Trou des Halles. / Bridgeman Images
MPX5139209: The huddled rooftops, the sprawling streets, green trees and multi-storey flats, long roads and wide open parks. They all add up to a panorama of Thornaby with the old village green and parish church in the foreground and the tree-bordered Village Park across Thornaby Road. Over to the right is the old airfield, now an industrial estate with Hinton's huge warehouse at the edge of the picture, In the centre are the new town's shopping precincts, the Golden Eagle Hotel, and the Thornaby Sports Pavilion, with behind them the high-rise blocks of flats, Hudson House and Anson House, standing like big brothers above their neighbours. 25th June 1979 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
