More about this scene
Market stalls were supposed to be erected and removed either side of market days, but inevitably it became easier to leave them stacked for use (left). A pavement ran along the front of the stalls, as earlier markets had strayed into the road. Boots the chemist had built their original store on the corner opposite the Royal Hotel at the bottom of Market Street. Pooles, the tobacconist and newsagent with its Swan Vestas advertisement, occupied the site of the original Gotch Bank.
