Cambridge Market: Talking to the traders - 15th December 2024 - Part 2

A big thank you to all the stall holders who spoke to me in this part, I truly appreciated the time you spent with me.
This series of videos has come about because I visited the market on the 14th December and got talking to a butcher about the proposed changes the City Council wants to make. He had a petition against it on his counter and I asked him about it as I was signing.
While talking to him, I suddenly thought it might be a good idea to talk to as many traders as I could about the proposals and record what they had to say. I spent the next week doing just that, and may continue after the Christmas break if I get the time. It has been both eye-opening and illuminating. I have learned a lot from the people I have spoken to, on and off camera, and I am very grateful to everyone for putting up with me at what is the busiest time of year for them.

"We are a small family business, founded in 2011 when we began popping up at farmers markets in the East of England. In the beginning, when customers would ask us if we had a website we’d answer ‘No, it’s just our stall.’ We then took on regular pitches at Cambridge, Fakenham and Bury St Edmunds markets and decided to make it official, we were Just Our Stall!"
