I used to go to the Fruit market there with me dad. It was a strange place. I remember the toffs in their evening suits coming home as we was loading the fruit and veg.
Nice pics and info Dazza.
The pics they have available online are superb :PDT11
Thanks Martin :PDT_Aliboronz_24: I wish they'd put the whole collection online.
Don't we all :handclap:
