D' market originally operated on SUndays ....still d' main day... with much activity on Saturday.....but increasingly number of traders ...mainly in FIxed permises operate throughout d' week .......................................................
................ the shops were NOt allowed to trade on Sundays until ..... the SUnday TRading ACt 1994  .............................
