The Market

A Memory of Dewsbury.

My granddad used to have the car park opposite the market, he used to run it with the help of my uncles, I seem to remember he used to charge something like a tanner (old sixpence) to park there. My mum used to take several shopping bags, fill a couple , take them back to the carpark and then go off with a couple more, I also remember as a youngster the freezing cold winters and sometimes mum would let me stay on the carpark in the little hut my granddad had, with a paraffin heater inside(health&Safety would have nightmares nowadays) but I remember it with such fondness
