More about this scene
The weekly market which dates back centuries is held every Thursday. The Market Cross, which once had two lamps attached to its worn pillar and stone base, was repaired in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Steps, fish stones and butter slabs were alongside, covered with produce on market days. Prices for markets as far off as Preston were set here. The fixing of egg prices each week was decided on the High Street until 1939, when Garstang lost that privilege. Preston Co-op (left) with Martin's Bank next door faces the King's Arms. At the end of High Street is the Market Hall.
