The Markets of Liverpool
My family connection to the Liverpool Markets way of life go’s back to my Grandad and family members working the old Fish and Produce markets of Liverpool City Centre in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s, my own personal involvement with the Liverpool markets way of life is working as a fruit and veg delivery driver in the late 1970’s picking up fruit and veg in the early morning hours at the Edge Lane Fruit and Veg market and delivering and selling fruit and veg to shops, cafes, fruit markets, chippies, hotels, greengrocers and every other establishment going who relied on fresh farm produce to make a living in every part of Liverpool, Birkenhead and Wallasey 6 days a week, ending on a Saturday selling fruit and veg on a market stall at the legendary Great Homer Street (Greatie) street market.
