May Day Green: market traders & Barraclough's
This photograph dating from about 1900 was taken close to Joseph Barraclough's Union Foundry, several market traders can be seen displaying and selling their fresh produce. The man wearing the bowler in the foreground stands by a wicker container, on its lid displayed onions and other vegetables; and wooden crates from wholesalers and more baskets can be seen in the background. No stalls for these traders but they provided a useful service and made a basic living.
