Anantapur town weekly market (on the site of the old fort / Jubilee Park)

high confidence
1905 Madras District Gazetteer, p. 142, of the Jubilee Park opened 1887 on the old fort site: 'it is now a woe-begone enclosure the only use of which is to serve as a site for the local weekly market.' IMPORTANT NEGATIVE FINDING for this dataset: the same gazetteer states at p. 143 that 'Anantapur is neither a trading nor an industrial centre... it is their only manufacture [leather shoes]. It lives chiefly upon the offices which are established within it.' The district headquarters was therefore NOT a merchant town in 1905, and the gazetteer names no Komatis, bazaar quarter, pettah, choultry or merchant-endowed temple at Anantapur.
