Farnworth Market, 1960
The handwritten signs, the lightbulbs strung under the tarpaulin roof, bananas hanging from hooks - this is market shopping which many Looking Back readers will remember.
This photograph of the fruit and veg stall on Farnworth Market was taken in 1960 when you could get four oranges for a shilling!
