What you'll see
A very early Sunday market on the riverbank: stalls of fish rolls, fruit and plants, traders shouting out deals, and a live band in the old brick fish-auction hall, where night owls and early risers meet.
A brief history
There has been a Sunday market here since 1703, held early so it would finish before church; the auction hall dates from 1896.
