He's stood on the market for fifty-seven years and now, Frank King is Chairman of the Market Tenants Association.
"When I came to the market" he says, "half the stalls were empty. Now it's successful, everyone wants to move in".

Taken from Lancashire Life magazine, April 1964.

I remember Frank, he used to come into Colin Cook's early evening.

I worked on that stall for a number of years for his son Lawrence, Best bloke you could ever meet.
