One
of the oldest chartered markets in London is having a revival. Broadway
Market once a desolate street whose thriving market had diminished over
the years is about to become a buzzing centre of the community. This is
due to the efforts of the local Tenants & Residents Association
(the BMTRA) who have joined forces with Hackney Council to set up and
promote a Farmer's Market which will reflect the community and stock an
eclectic mix of goods from local farmer, artists and crafts
people in order to temp the customer to sample and buy.
