Birkenhead market, you could get anything and everything there, until it burned down.

Funny how these 'old-fashioned' markets...on valuable sites...all 'burn down'.
There had been a practice fire a few years' earlier, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no mor. The fire alarms weren't even automatic and had to be started manually. Even then they weren't connected to a fire station. lol
It was a great market though, full of character ; plenty of stalls were populated by gift of the gab merchants.
