Haverhill Market
The market town of Haverhill hosts a large number of stalls on Market Square on Friday and the High Street on Saturdays.
Here, you can browse stalls offering everything from fresh produce to children’s items and even flooring.
Tom Chambers has been a market trader for 24 years, and is now in his 15th year of running the Village Foods van at Haverhill Market. He sells more than 40 different cheeses including Suffolk Gold as well as meat and other delicatessen products.
Munroe’s Fish has been trading for more than 20 years, with many regular customers. There is a range of fish on offer, plus most types available to order, filleted and prepared how you like it.
At Paul Firman’s Quality Fruit and Veg, on Haverhill Market for more than 25 years, you can also get tips on preparing and cooking them.
Haverhill based brothers Brett and Brad Butler run BB Flooring, which offers good quality flooring at low prices. You can chose from carpet, laminate flooring and vinyl tiles and get advice on fitting, sizes and types of flooring.
The strategic positioning of Haverhill by the Stour, and near the main crossing point at Wixoe, would have made it an important gathering place for traders and merchants of all kinds in days gone by. All manner of produce would have been traded, from livestock to feed and cloth.
Many things may have changed but the warmth of the welcome and the diversity of the products sold remains the same.
