The Market Place shop opened in November 2012, next door to the Anchor Hotel. The proceeds from the sale of donated items here help finance Blue Cross UK, a charity dedicated to helping sick, injured and homeless pets. Blue Cross traces its origins to 1897 when a group of animal lovers founded Our Dumb Friends League (the original name for Blue Cross) to care for working horses on the streets of London. In 1906, they opened their first animal hospital in Victoria, London, probably the first of its kind in the world.
