What memories those wicker baskets of china evoke, the banter was just as Dave recalled. Back in the late 40', early 50's my sister & I were allowed to go on our own to the fair on the Market Square. I remember the 'china stalls' being somewhere near the entrance to the Makinson Arcade. My son still has a sugar bowl with fancy handles & a lid that we bought at a china stall. I was amazed the way the stall holder would start with an empty basket & then keep chucking in peices of china with no effort at all, I was spellbound.
