Urmston Markets

Project Information

This Project showcases my perspective as an outsider of a local market called Urmston that has been open for over 80 years. One of the elements that I have discovered during this project is to show how there are still little pockets of communities such as this market within today’s society. I’ve discovered during this project that this market is much more than a place where you can buy local produce or buy craft items, as the market traders who keep the markets running have kept the long running community of social interaction with their customers. 

I’ve also Created a Photo book that contains these photos and also a section shot by a Market trader in 2000, this shows how the markets used to be compared to how it is now. Click here to buy the book
