Memories of first jobs, gossips, and getting lost in the sights and smells of Liverpool market

Stunning archive photographs show the every day life and the people that used to shop at one of the city's oldest open air markets.

The photos were posted online recently by David Fitzgerald, who said they were taken by a relative of his late wife around 1969. The images show Garston Market during its glory days, bustling with customers who could shop there for pretty much everything they needed.

After the images were re-posted on the Liverpool Memories and History Facebook group, it sparked nostalgic memories of the market in its heyday. Everything from the stocked up stalls and the market's friendly atmosphere to the unique smells of cold meat, vegetables and tangerines on cold winter mornings.
