I do remember it used to be a bustling place - full of shoppers, buying what they needed in the 70's/80's - not visitors/people passing their day, breezing around with a £5 coffee in their hands. But, if it wasn't bringing in business - then it had to go i suppose (not sure a cinema complex, Bars & Restaurants are the best replacements though!) Shame really - plenty of nostalgia for me . . . . All that 1970's cream Tiling and angled blue handrails, is very unique ! Thanks for the Video by the way
Used to come here many a Saturday morning with my mum and dad for some shopping when I was a kid. Brings back some good memories. Will be sad to see it go, but at the same time it was tired looking. Looking forward to seeing how the new development looks in the future, nostalgia and memories.
This is tragic. The whole Indoor market and car park should be given a sympathetic makeover and retained. Instead, some of the market traders have been relocated into a bizarre kind of lightbox, and this perfectly adequate market is going to be demolished and replaced with a building not many people will go to because of the Internet and the car park is being demolished and replaced with... a car park. Great idea!
Slartifartblast I totally agree. It did look very run down, other than that the food is really good. And the new e market is very cold. Good to see a lot of the regular traders in there.
My mum went there all her life, brought her family up on the produce sold on those market stalls. She loved to pass the afternoon in there. Happy memories
Used to go to a stall selling and swapping Mega Drive games there along with another around the corner above Alley Book Shop. Wasn’t my favourite place to go in Preston, felt run down back in the early 90s. Still the people there gave the place some real charm.
the indoor market had many businesses and now sadly replaced with just one business , a cinema , the market should have been listed , the carpark was .
I liked walking round the "old" market - it had character. The new market is rubbish - smaller and not so many stalls. Like Gary and his herbs etc and Mooreys health foods. Very sad.
Yes it is small, I feel cramped just walking round it. Nice to see a few favourite stalls still like the sweet store, livesys butchers. Just far too many cafes in there now. I do like the orchard micro bar, but you can't swing a cat in there. Also heard on blog Preston that the demolision of the old market is to begin in January.
Can anyone tell me what the pork butchers was called or where they went to. It was a cross from the cafe and was run by an old quiet couple. Best sausages ever.
@@Adzcantsing thank you so much, do you know where they moved because I remember the last time I was there they were packing up and I asked the where they moving and they said somewhere in new hall lane but it was never there😭🙏🏼❤️
