Here are some pictures of Kaneshie market in Accra.
The huge three storey building of Kaneshie market as we know it was built in 1979 across the road (called Winneba Road) from what is now Old Kaneshie Market:
Trotros are the minivans imported from Europe - mostly Northern Europe in fact - which are used as common transportation system and are all privately run. Accidents are very frequent with those, especially on the Accra-Kumasi road. The impressive trotro station in front of the market is what you see below:
The surroundings of the market building is still considered as being part of the market. A lot of microentrepreneurs are selling there:
The main street cutting across Old Kaneshie market to dive into the district of Abossey Okine, THE domain of mechanics and auto spare parts dealers:
And Winneba Road, passing along the market and offerng an avenue to leave Accra in the direction of Cape Coast...
