Street markets

[jrhilton]

With all the talk of local high streets, what do people think about street markets? How about this one, it has a train line running straight through it and the shops have to stop selling each time a train goes through.

I would not like to have to buy any of the produce on this market. The items for sale were virtually abutting the running line. I hope that no toilets were being flushed as the train passed through the market section.:roll:

Borough Market has trains running through it. Sort of.

Very droll, this is not the Station Association Quiz

However if it is, I will put forward:-
Market Bosworth
Market Harborough
Market Rasen

Well, above it more like. The noise is never ending from the second bridge NR are building!

If you want a proper street market, try Walthamstow High Street (the longest market in the country) although it's not as good as when I was a kid, or Roman Road in Bow.
I prefer indoor markets, the one in Leeds is fantastic, but Halifax's is pretty good too.

Chesterfield has a huge market, although I'm not 100% sure of the quality. Doncaster has one of the best market halls/outdoor markets I've come across.

Stockport has an award-winning Victorian indoor market hall and a large outdoor market.

I bet the Fruit and Veg are pretty good from there!

I am glad that you mentioned Halifax. It is contained in a Victorian building with flagged walkways. Being on a hill, all the internal paths slope downwards towards the road where the council offices and the bus station are situated.
