Quite the legacy
A Preston market trader who has served the local community for decades has celebrated his 45th year at the stall.
“I lived for going to the markets on a Saturday and I have so many good memories. In about 1968 when the old indoor market was being built, me and a few mates were playing in the sand on the building site. I got back to the stall, and I was covered in sand. My dad gave me a right pasting!” "There was a hierarchy when it came to the stall positions. The canopy was packed with traders and the longer you’d been here, the better position you got. When someone left, the longest trading stall got first refusal - it was an unwritten rule.
The Mayor of Preston, Councillor Neil Darby said: “Derek has worked hard, out here under the canopy, in all weathers for 45 years. It is so interesting to hear Derek’s stories about growing up at Preston Markets and what a rich history Preston has enjoyed.”
