The bit I remember as being the seperate little mini market was the green one. It had a great big stuffed donky toy for sale that I always wanted!The building onthe corner of Milgarth Street just at the bottom of your circle is still there, all on its own. something to do with the council storage I hearedAlso I thought the Market Tavern was on the corner with Harewood Street which would be the next street up toward Vicar lane from your purple circle. I remember the separate little bit too. I must of been about 9 or 10. My Mum & Nanna called it the flea market. Happy memories i have of the old market with its down stairs toilets & rough lucking green wooden stalls. We would go every saturday & i would always get ago on the "worly gig". I think the sandwich shop/backers next to the old bus station was called Caricks in the early 90's.

I wonder who took these and if there are any more of other parts of the city at all, specifically Sheepscar before the interchange!

Phil, if you type /original after the url when you are on the page of the small photo that you want it should load it into a massive image of about 13mb. I tried it and it seems to have worked...
