I remember a conversation I had with the family owner of the household goods stalls. He told me that after many enjoyable years selling his goods to the locals, the emergence and popularity of the Pound shop rendered the early mornings and long days necessary to make a living unworthy.I like to think his family found their vocation elsewhere. As for flower seller Peter, I'm guessing he took a similar line, succumbing to the competition to the Wheeler's flower stalls and M&S.Shame, all were good honest vendors.
