Traders at a 700 year old market in Merseyside consider themselves a "dying breed".
Earlestown market has been one of the sparks keeping the small town alive in recent years, with people flocking into the historic town square every Friday morning. The market is among the oldest in the country, with roots that can be traced back over 700 years.
As the local economy struggles for a variety of reasons, the toll has began to be felt by traders, some of whom believe the market is set to die out in the near future. The ECHO headed down on a Friday morning to catch up with stall holders.
