Bahamas Philately: New Providence – Nassau – Market Street

Market Street, Nassau, was originally known as Farm Road. The street was named Farm Road as it was the principal route for bringing produce to the market in Nassau. In 1849, Market Street was in dire need of resurfacing, drainage, and an access route to the city. In order to make a connection to Grant’s Town, the unsightly quarry at the top of Market St was to be cut through. The proposed tunnel was constructed and became known as Gregory Arch –  giving residents coming from Grant’s Town easier access to the Town of Nassau.
