Like you I remember him and his stall well, did not know his name but remember his gruff voice, and him banging his stick on a box to make a sale, he knew how to work a crowd. I bet that there is meant a house in Grantham with items bought from his stall. Another one to remember was Compton’s carpets next to the market cross. He knew how to flog you a bit of shag pile.
