Markets

 

In economic terms the word market indicates the place (including figuratively) and time in which trade of various sorts takes place.
Markets are commonly dated to the Middle Ages although references to them in the Roman era do exist.

 

Over the years markets and fairs have managed to remain as popular as ever with their taste of a not too distant past and the last few years has seen a rise in popularity of purchases at market stalls.
