Barnsley Market - 1970s

featuring the old indoor and outdoor market areas selling flowers, meat, fresh food, antiques, vegetables, clothes, toys, children’s rides etc. as well as the bus stations right by the market and demolished Woolworths building site.

I used to work at Wakefield. Castleford and Pontefract Market in the 80s. Also South Elmsall and Hemsworth. You will never have the heritage, characters and loyalty of the market traders and public as the bygone years, I'm glad I was part of it.

title says 1970s, but seeing all the vehicles especially buses seemed to me a little earlier - there is a G reg car near the end which is 1969. Given all the prices were in pounds shillings and pence then it has to have been filmed before Decimalisation day (15 feb 1971)

Great to see old video of the town

[@AliceHatter]

Such a shame there's no sound to capture the hustle and bustle, but fabulous footage.

[@MareaSimpson]

That’s when we had a proper market before the council decided to “improve” it.
