#Smithfield Market
##Conversion options

Here's three ways of looking at conversion from paper to Dokuwiki [[https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Smithfield-Market--CBkdemMLCKUxfCbQOT4NggrBAQ-QkFZfIpHi1yvQlpWAdK9g|See original in Paper]]

1. Copy and paste from Paper
2. Use markdown file from Paper directly
3. Convert markdown file

Conclusion: Copy and paste directly from Paper doesn't work entirely well - embedded link Market Website is just plain text. Options 2 and 3 look the same. Some URL links in 3. are not live, but code is the same.

Images have picked up from Paper, and would need to be re-inserted. The thumbnail links (e.g. Wikipedia, The Buildings of Smithfield Market are just rendered as links and so would need to be redone. Similarly for Streetview and videos.

Here's a version where that is done [[Smithfield Market revise|Smithfield Market revise]]

##1. Copy and and paste from Paper

Smithfield is home to the largest wholesale meat market in the UK, with an 800 year history. Nearby religious martyrs were burned at the stake, the leader of the Peasants revolt Wat Tyler was slain by the Lord Mayor, and Barts Hospital founded. The area will change substantially over the next decade as the market moves to Barking, and the Museum of London develops a new home in West Smithfield.

Smithfield or, to give it its official name, London Central Markets, is the largest wholesale meat market in the UK and one of the largest of its kind in Europe.

Located within the Square Mile of the City of London it is housed in three listed buildings.
It is a place packed with history there has been a livestock market on the site for over 800 years and yet is as modern as tomorrow with its state of the art facilities for the receiving, storing and despatching of meat and poultry. (Website)

Clerkenwell 101
8 Smithfield Meat Market has been operating almost constantly for over 800 years. In the Middle Ages, Smithfield was a wide grassy space, with access to grazing and water from the River Fleet. Until 1855 cattle, sheep and horses were brought into Smithfield to be sold or slaughtered. In June 1855 the live market was closed due to complaints about the chaos and mess caused by driving live cattle to what was now central London. After 1886, cattle were slaughtered elsewhere and the meat brought to the newly-erected Smithfield Meat Market by train.
