Used to come here many a Saturday morning with my mum and dad for some shopping when I was a kid. Brings back some good memories. Will be sad to see it go, but at the same time it was tired looking. Looking forward to seeing how the new development looks in the future, nostalgia and memories.
My mum went there all her life, brought her family up on the produce sold on those market stalls. She loved to pass the afternoon in there. Happy memories
This is tragic. The whole Indoor market and car park should be given a sympathetic makeover and retained. Instead, some of the market traders have been relocated into a bizarre kind of lightbox, and this perfectly adequate market is going to be demolished and replaced with a building not many people will go to because of the Internet and the car park is being demolished and replaced with... a car park. Great idea!
Slartifartblast I totally agree. It did look very run down, other than that the food is really good. And the new e market is very cold. Good to see a lot of the regular traders in there.
Used to go to a stall selling and swapping Mega Drive games there along with another around the corner above Alley Book Shop. Wasn’t my favourite place to go in Preston, felt run down back in the early 90s. Still the people there gave the place some real charm.
the indoor market had many businesses and now sadly replaced with just one business , a cinema , the market should have been listed , the carpark was .
I liked walking round the "old" market - it had character. The new market is rubbish - smaller and not so many stalls. Like Gary and his herbs etc and Mooreys health foods. Very sad.
Yes it is small, I feel cramped just walking round it. Nice to see a few favourite stalls still like the sweet store, livesys butchers. Just far too many cafes in there now. I do like the orchard micro bar, but you can't swing a cat in there. Also heard on blog Preston that the demolision of the old market is to begin in January.
Can anyone tell me what the pork butchers was called or where they went to. It was a cross from the cafe and was run by an old quiet couple. Best sausages ever.
@@Adzcantsing thank you so much, do you know where they moved because I remember the last time I was there they were packing up and I asked the where they moving and they said somewhere in new hall lane but it was never there😭🙏🏼❤️
the smell,the shops,all gone. so sad....

I feel quite sad to see the market go, I don't live in preston any more but visit quite often, great nostalgic video

They certainly did, I don't remember a video game shop there in the 90s.
Do you still collect video games?

It's been a while since we went there, it looks so ghostly
A room full of empty people lol ;-)
Corrienne Strong the new market is ok. Not as spacious like the old one. As it's all mixed with retail and food now.
Can anyone tell me what the pork butchers was called or where they went to. It was a cross from the cafe and was run by an old quiet couple. Best sausages ever.
It's three years later and there is no ten screen cinema how long does it take lol.
Hopefully work should start next year

the clowns at preston city hall are the same as the clowns at blackburn town hall

I bet it was the council’s fault.
it was no longer used, people no longer wanted to shop in markets they used to be the home of a bargain now they're just the home of tat
So true markets are slowly dying out.
