We had an association &#8211; if you can call it that. Some used to go through the street selling fish in barrows &#8211; they weren&#8217;t barrow boys, they were classed as hawkers. Sunday morning they&#8217;d come round with herrings, shouting out. When the markets came, there weren&#8217;t many of them left. We were tied &#8211; we just stood there. We weren&#8217;t supposed to shout out our wares. We were better off than the hawkers, we used to be all day there, didn&#8217;t we? People came through there.
