Not much passing trade up there, except for the odd passing trapeze artist, if all you're selling is a few Free Trade feathers and beads.

Nearly as many unrented units up yonder, as there are spaces downstairs, where once there were stalls floggin' stuff, folk would fork out to buy.
Putting small businesses and arty crafty type places up there was a halfbaked idea which was bound to fail. It's Accy for crying out loud, not Covent Garden. A thoroughly depressing experience walking round the market now for those who can remember when it was the lively, bustling heart of the town.
