It only opens three days a week but I notice the town is always busier on those days and the cafes nearby full of people chatting over coffee clutching their shopping bags - I think markets offer far more to their communities than just the shoppingxxxRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-24437540668966318312013-01-27T14:32:23.018+00:002013-01-27T14:32:23.018+00:00I never saw the markets at their best....

I didn't realise there was an indoor market, there were a few stalls outside which I found very off putting as there were groups of young men hanging around them, smoking and making every where stink! <br /><br />We both said it needed knocking down and modernising but I hope they will rebuild the market now I've seen the indoor one and make a good job of any improvements.

I'm actually much more likely to use it when it's there as it's the right end of town for me. I have shopped at the Market years ago and there were excellent fish and veg stalls but it was just too far to go. I imagine the people who currently use it and live that side of the city will feel the same way once it's on the Moor. There's a new group just formed called Friends of Sheffield Castle who are trying to get a proper excavation done on the Castle and surrounding area. It would be fascinating if it happens, there must be tons of archaeology under the Markets area. Hope you found a satisfactory Plan B:) Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-2358070650225198262013-01-26T18:47:03.131+00:002013-01-26T18:47:03.131+00:00I love markets like that, full ofcharacter and ind...I love markets like that, full ofcharacter and individual stalls and shops.
