With the Argus running a story that the venue is seeking another £60k loan an top of the million pound loan already taken, it seems it's running into trouble already.

I think the utilitarian, faceless design doesn't help but I'm interested on what other people think....

I used to go every Saturday about 7.45/8.00: get a weekly shop done and get home in time to do things with the family. The opening hours then changed and didn't open till after 9.00 (in effect, 9.30 when they get the stock out). I don't go so much these days as that's half of Saturday gone. A real shame

Half the places are empty and the other half selling expensive stuff that you can get cheaper elsewhere

I agree. The artisan stalls are out of place, in my opinion....

Buy fantastic jumbo eggs there every week (£1.05 for half a dozen), same stall sells a decent sized camembert for a quid, the fruit n veg stall had big bowls of fruit/veg e.g. kiwi fruits or plums or tomatoes, for a quid each. Indispensible part of the weekly food shop IMHO.

Got my first pair of Doc Martens boots from the shoe stall in the open market, 1978 I think.

My mum always went to that market when I was a kid, always remember plenty of characters working on the stalls.

A hundred years ago My wife and I went on holiday to Ibiza.
We met up with a couple of old wimmin, one of which was the wife of the bloke who invented Doc Martins.
I kid you not.
She told us there was a baby in the Sangria that we were drinking
Nine months later my first son was born
