Bury your head in the Domesday Book of 1086 and you will find mention of the market in the centre of Cambridge.

Centuries later, and the market survives and thrives, open seven days a week with stalls selling everything from fruit and vegetables to wooden toys and ceramic bowls.

Street markets across the country have had to evolve as town and city centres face challenges from out-of-town shopping, the growth of supermarkets, the birth of online retail, and economic cycles.

For many nowadays, that means offering something a bit different with an artisan twist, rather than just the daily groceries

I love a street market, our Norwich Market has been there since about the middle ages  I think and we have small towns with markets that have been there for centuries, markets have changed in my lifetime, I hope they continue.

I love a good market  o904

The people who have stalls on Norwich Market are like one big family, and I look forward to visiting them.

Sadly our market closed some months ago and about a third of the units in the market hall are stood empty at the moment , our council rents are sky high & traders cannot afford them AND make a profit
