Speller Metcalfe has been awarded the £8M contract to lead the revamp of the market and has already begun preparing the site for demolition.
Construction works include creating a market that is fit for purpose in the 21st century, but retains all the character of a traditional market place.
Eighty-four smart new stalls will be installed in the new market, creating an attractive environment for traders and other small businesses.
The 1970s market roof will be removed and replaces with a smaller covered area, opening up views of the Grace II listed Corn Exchange.
