Market Place, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
This photograph of the Market Place was taken in September 1904. It shows the stalls all set up. You can also see the rails for the trams on the ground and the electric cables to power them up above. A line of horses and carts were the delivery vans of their day. There has been a market here since at least 1384, when it is recorded that the area was partly paved and had a pillory. A pillory was a pole with hand/foot restraints on it used for punishing people, very similar to stocks.
