Market Day in Alton (a)

Markets have been in the existence for many centuries. Most Settlements in England at least one outlet for local artisans, tradesmen and farmers. The market often gained a royal charter that gave sole rights to an area six and two thirds miles as the crow flies from the designated market place. Many famous brands began their commercial ventures in markets. We are often told how much has changed in the last 25 years but some really important things have not. The market is an enduring symbol of the sense of community that communal shopping generates, and the internet cannot.
