Todmorden has only got a small outdoor Market, but it has several specialist food stalls, which seem to be very well patronised.

Clitheroe market used to be a twentieth the size of Accrington's thriving market, now it's bigger and better than our sad excuse for a market place.
Visiting Accrington Market now, is like visiting it on a non-market day in the past. Mostly empty stalls, a very few hardy stalls open, with their fare spread out, and the wind whistling through, blowing tumbleweed.
