and here we are on Scalford Road, Melton Mowbray:

VIEW OF THE FARMERS' MARKET SHED

AND ANOTHER VIEW OF THE FARMERS' MARKET
The one-time Poultry Shed at Melton Cattle Market is the focal point of the Farmers' Market and now contains several lock-up Units.
Elsewhere in the building there are sites let for stallholders. The Units and stall sites are let to farmer-traders at a modest rental and include the use of the main toilet and washing facilities located at the end of the block.
From the early hours of a trading day (Tuesday and Friday) it is a hive of industry as produce is brought in and displayed for sale.
As the Farmers' Market is under cover the vendors and customers alike fare better on inclement days than the street traders in the town and with the now newly-refurbished Restaurant being in close proximity it becomes an almost one-stop shopping area for the local, fresh, straight-from-the-farm goods that are so highly prized in the locality.
