Having frequented the Fusion Sundays many times with my own family, I'll feel a little lost without it. The markets were such a great thing to pop down to at the weekend, with their myriad of food, clothing and book stalls.
The markets were also home to the community share library where people could lend out household items to others living in the area.
As well as a great spot for shopping, Fusion Sundays exhibited dance and performances from different countries and brought together all different cultures.
Many of the markets seem to be relocating to Bluebell, which will be great for those living nearby, but for those in the Liberties, it's the end of an era.
The closure of the markets is just another part of an ongoing struggle between locals and the regeneration of the area. There have already been protests at Kevin Street where a hotel is being built in a residential area.
For the markets of Newmarket though, the battle is over as the area sees a new chapter in its life.Explore more on these topics:
