Hello all, long time lurker - first time poster.
My family used to rent a market stall here in the 70s. My dad was a friend of a guy called Mickey or Mick Green, who owned the market. The story goes that my dad saved Mickey from a beating one time…
My dad passed away in the 80s. I had reason to visit the area for the first time in many years recently. It’s now called ‘priory square’ I think - or possibly just the square. All the old market stalls are gone of course…just a big empty space.
Just wondering if anyone knows what happened to the owners - or even the old market manager who was known as ‘Batman’ (no idea what his real name was).
Would have been a good one for Astonian I suspect! RIP.
