Jacky Whites Market



I wonder what indoor markets in other parts of the world that sell raw meat and fish smell like? Flower gardens?
I once walked round an outdoor market in Vietnam and I can tell you it was much worse than jacky whites..... the smell was like fish and death and fresh bread all in one.... manky
 
I couldn't have been in Jacky Whites for over 40 years but I can still remember that horrible smell. The darn thing is I can remember the Jacky Whites market that the current one which was built in the 1960's replaced and that stank as well.
The old Jacky Whites stood in much the same position as the current one and was rebuilt when the shopping precinct was developed . The whole area between Crowtree Road and the station was a bomb site from WWII those days. It took them 20 years after the War to rebuild that bit of town centre that's how much of a smashing the place had got.
