  • In March 1963, Monmouth suffered one of its worst fires when the Produce Market building in Priory Street was destroyed by a blaze which had started in a paper store on the first floor. Attempts to fight the fire with buckets met with no success and the building was evacuated.

Six years after the fire, the Nelson Museum & Local History Centre moved into the rebuilt shell of the building.
