This is the focal point of the town centre, and the market was held here until the much larger market area was built at the end of the 19C. It was made into a pedestrian area in the late 20C and the shelters in 19C ornamental style provided. A pity that the grit container has to be bright yellow, and is left here all through the Summer!
