To call what we have a 'market' is a travesty.
And the indoor market has no soul.
There was a ludicrous attempt to set up some wooden chalets outside the market hall and call it 'A Christmas Market'......why would you do that when there are empty stalls on the market and in the market hall?
Yes the days of industry are gone, but it doesn't mean that Accrington can misrepresent itself as a 'Market Town' when it has such a dire market as the one we have....and I have news for you......people do not identify strongly with the market.....they are embarrassed by it!
