MARKET - COVERED - BELL
See also TOWN HALL BELL
Currently (January 2000) there is a bell hung in the Covered Market. Mary McBride, former Market Superintendent, recalls ringing this bell when a junior there (1950s/1960s?). It was rung 10 minutes before closing to get people out and at opening times to let people know the market had opened. It is now moved from its original position and is just for show.
