Market day in The Green

The curved wall of the popular New Market dominates this view while farming folk are gathered round the 'Mannie in the Green' street well to sell their butter and eggs, vegetables and flowers at the Friday market. The New Market was demolished in 1972 to be replaced by the Aberdeen Market, and the 'Mannie' returned to his orginal home in the Castlegate.

"You could buy fruit and veggies upstairs in the market, fish downstairs. You could also buy fruit and veggies at the Green on a Friday."
