One of the butchers came the morning after the fire and asked us if he could get his takings from his stall. We asked him the whereabouts of the safe and he said 'Safe? It was stuffed inside a chicken!'. Oh dear! I still don't know if he found it as crews were relieved after 9am but given the state of the place I think it highly unlikely.
I seem to remember that two three other towns lost their markets in the same way within just a few years. There was a strong suspicion of arson at the time.
Oh how to make me feel old. . I remember going up town the day of the fire
I remember that and going into town and saw the aftermath of it.
