connection of the buildings to the sewerage system in 1990 required substantial works and called for the employment of an architect, but johnson was now dead. the firm now commissioned was that of gibbs and finlay, originally established by harry browse gibbs in 1882, and ultimately to become gibbs, finlay and morsby. this firm, and gibbs in particular, was to be responsible for major extensions to the market in 1906–1908, when the main hall was continued north to tyrone street, increasing the number of stalls, but very precisely matching the original design. in blackwood street, next to the existing cooling chamber, a new chamber was built, and then a new entrance at the north end of the site, surmounted by a characteristically edwardian elliptical rusticated arch.
