In the 50-60 my Aunt& uncle Les & Mary Bradbury had a stall in Kingshall Mkt selling Handbags & Leather goods.Also at Cox St West

I sampled my first 'foreign' food at the Shalimar when I went with my parents when I was about
14 (1956 and I was not too impressed), I thought the hosiery stall in the market was fantastic and wanted to buy a pair of fishnet stockings with butterfly patterns on them but my mom said that only a certain type of 'lady' wore them.

Good job your mom was keeping her eye om you lol. By the way, how did she know about "certain types of ladies!?

My Dad had been a copper in Varna road and had plenty of tales to tell, lol.

I loved the market it had so many stalls selling different items, so many markets nowadays
are full of cheap clothes stalls.

My mom always made her own curtains & a lot of our clothes, especially my sisters' school dresses. She always bought her fabric from a stall in King's Hall Market run by Ali. "Ali, King's Hall Market" was a by-word for value in sewing fabric. My best friend's mom was a dressmaker. She would send her clients to Ali for cloth for her to make up.

Was this and the market the same building ? Must admit it does look like a former chapel.
