The present-day Cardiff Central Market is a covered market. Built in the late 1800s, it features street food, a greengrocer, a fishmonger, clothes-sellers, an LP store with a statue of Elvis, and more. In 1831, however, this was the site  of the Cardiff gaol. After the 1831 Merthyr Uprising was suppressed, Lewis Lewisyn and Richard Lewis were incarcerated in the Cardiff Gaol. Despite an 11,000-signature petition demanding a reprieve for Lewis, on 13 August 1841 he was executed here, in the doorway of what is now the Market on St. Mary's Street.
