It was a great market gaff to stand on, what a buzz. I had the time of my life there. The majority of the stallholders were legend and the locals were spot on. Times were good then and so were markets, unfortunately times and business change, not all for the best, and markets have suffered. Preston Market is the best market I've ever stood at. R.I.P. Frank Councell and Mr Henshaw, and all the best to all past and present traders, you deserve a medal for standing in the row on a cold January morning,. I just hope they let you get your vans on early on Birley Street etc.
