Potatoes would have been unloaded from the boat and transported by barrow to the potato markets. This rare street trader's barrow is thought to be similar to those used but we have yet to find out...any information gratefully received....

| Calling in at McCalls - the last traders on Church Street, now housed with a more permanent stall |
