Historians and antiquarians have not yet settled how the Ditch got its very unpleasant first name, but we do know when Hanging Ditch gave its name to the Corn and Produce Market, of which it formed the centre, and gradually expanded the circle of that market until it spread itself from Half Street, near the Old Church, almost to Shudehill Market at the top of that hill, which was opened in May, 1822. Hanging Ditch and Market embraced Fennel Street on one side and Hunter's Lane (afterwards called Cannon Street) on the other, and when Corporation Street was opened in 1850 it crossed Greenwood Street, which led by a narrow way to the great stable- yard of the celebrated Seven Stars, " the oldest licensed house in England," which has its romantic front in Withy Grove.

Barratt's mill, and the Corporation gave him a piece of land at the corner of Fennel Street, opposite the Dog and Partridge Inn at the end of Hanging Ditch and Fennel Street, and also a splendid site for his warehouse and offices in the new Corporation Street, where the firm of Barratt and Trueman were for many years as butter, cheese and corn factors.
