Share Tweet +1 Email Great Homer Street market has been a Liverpool fixture for 180 years. Pat and Linda Bartley, who work as stall holders at Great Homer Street market Photo by James Maloney Collectively, the traders on Great Homer Street Market are expert with figures. Wander from stall to stall and you can’t avoid them. “It’s ?89 in the shop, I’ll do it for ?25 .... “They’re ?7 each, two for a tenner ... “We’ve got something on this market for every price, from under a pound to ?300 jackets,” says Billy Clayton, pointing in the direction of his rails of branded outdoorwear. “Well, he adds, smiling, “?300’s what they’re worth. I’ll sell you one for ?150 ... But it’s not ticket prices that are weighing on Billy and the other traders’ minds at the moment. There’s another sum concerning them, and they can’t make it add up. “We’ve been told the new market plans have about 150 10ft spaces for us and we have 240 needing to go into it,” explains Tony Chung, who has been selling textiles on the old site for nearly 40 years. “Whichever way you look at it, that just doesn’t fit. Tony, like most who work the market every Saturday from barely sunrise until a 3pm closing up time, is worried that in the brave new glossy world of Dryden Street there simply won’t be enough room for them all. “And we’ve stood here for over 30 years,” says Pat Bartley, who runs a ladieswear stall with wife Lynda. “Between us, Tony and the guy behind us, we’ve had 100 years on this market. “I’m 65 years of age, I don’t want to be moving over there and taking a chance. This is our livelihood, we’re established here, now we just don’t know what’s going to happen to us. To Billy, Tony, Pat and Lynda, Greatie is more than just another place to sell once a week. It’s part of Liverpool’s history, their part, and they don’t want to see it jeopardised. “We’re not being difficult for the sake of it, we want it to be right,” says Tony. “We want this market to be successful, not just for us but the next generation and the one after that. We want it to be something we can be proud of and the city can be proud of. It might not be the prettiest market – “we haven’t had a binbag off anyone, never mind any investment, in all these years,” says Pat – but it is unique and it holds a place in the hearts of generations who have shopped there over the years. The banter and the chat bounce between customers and traders on every stall as the bargains are had. Often they know each other, they know their families, they’re all in the same family. “I’m on my third generation of women coming here,” says Tom Finnegan, clutching a cup of tea in his womenswear unit. “The people who come here are the salt of the earth; women come and then they bring their daughters and then their granddaughters for the younger fashion stuff. Huyton-born Tom has been a fixture on Greatie since 1969, when he started on his first stall. “I was selling chipped cups from Stoke-on-Trent down the bottom end,” he recalls. “I’ve moved all over the market in different stalls. I took mine over from my brother-in-law and now my son-in-law runs one I had. They’re there from 5.30am - 4am some days – ready for the earliest shoppers arriving to get the pick of the stock. Everyone is greeted with a grin and a ‘hiya sweetheart’. “I had Trinny and Susannah here once,” he says. “They were with that young doctor off the telly, making a programme, that’s the gospel truth. 65-year-old Tom joked with them too, because a customer’s a customer in Greaty, whether you’re on the telly or not. “But they’re all more than just customers to me,” he smiles. “I wouldn’t half miss them if I wasn’t here. We’ve been through weddings together, births together, deaths together, everything. We’re all part of the fabric of this market, and this city. We know that and the people who come here know that, but not everyone seems to. They want everything to look nice and pretty, but then you take away the character which is such a big part of this place. It would break my heart if that went. The fight to stay on the street which gave the famous market its name is, they accept, most likely lost for good now. But they still have battles to be waged and points to be made. “One of the biggest problems is the people in charge don’t know what we want, they don’t know anything about markets, and they’ve never once been and asked,” says Tony. Back at his outdoorwear and sportswear stall, Billy has a vision shared by many. “I’ve been on this pitch for 20 years,” he says, “and I think this market should be like Camden in London. That’s on every tourist advertisement, it’s seen as an attraction, a selling point, that’s what we should be. We’ve got cruise ships coming, we’ve got the football, we’ve got big events bringing thousands of people into the city. “What we want is somewhere we can all work and make it a part of the culture of this city in the future. This market is 180 years old, it’s a great place to bring people from outside. People will follow us half a mile down the road, the market is that good, but the new site has to be right. “For 12 years we were at the centre of this development, now we feel as though we’re being pushed aside. Customers share his fears, and his hopes, he says. Pauline Johnson has seen things from both sides; she’s been a Greatie seller and a buyer. She had her first job there, on the old Paddy’s Market when she was 15, selling men’s suits and hats. “I was with a little old lady called Maggie Ireland and the sailors would come over on the ships from Africa and buy suits and leave with 10 hats piled on their heads!” she laughs. “We had three generations on stalls here. My mam got hers from her mother, who had one opposite Cilla Black’s mother. Pauline came every Saturday when her three children where growing up, she says: “Always to the shoe man, who had all the Clarks shoes knotted together at the back. You had to be early because he had nothing left by lunchtime. Now she’s here to spend and chat with traders who know her by name. “They’re like friends to me,” she says, “and I don’t think you find that anywhere else. There’s something special about this market and that’s what we really don’t want to lose. Too often this city doesn’t realise what it’s got until it’s too late.
