Couldn't hack it as a bairn. My Nana used to go in and I'd cry all the way around. Think I'd probably tear up now tbh.

Then again, I didn't used to like the smell of Vaux as a bairn, but as I got older I definitely missed it. Would love that back.
It is a horrific experience, see a lot of people walk out all flustered and upset regularly marra
 
My Dad used to take me there when I was a kid to buy my mother’s Christmas present off me, I usually chose a broom or pinny or some other random shite.
 
It's always had a funky smell to it. I was in at Christmas time for the first time in years and it brought me back to the late 70s... It's part of Sunderland and part of my upbringing....

I wonder what indoor markets in other parts of the world that sell raw meat and fish smell like? Flower gardens?
 
This was once the life and soul of Sunderland city centre. Now it is a complete shambles, with horrible store owners picking on the less fortunate who don't buy their products. The meat in the butchers in there is also of very poor quality. The place needs gutted and replaced with a Next store.
Place is a mess, has been for as long as I can remember it.
