Does anyone know the history behind the name Market Warsop?
A question was raised in a recent meeting that got me thinking. MDC have new policies regarding street trading, which means that stalls at our carnival and Christmas market, including charity stalls, have to pay £75 for a license to trade for the day. I put it to them that if the trader is there on the day of a market, they should be covered by that. I was told that Warsop is only granted the rights to a market by Mansfield as Mansfield have a market charter.
I may be very wrong, but I was of the understanding that we got 'Market' put back in front of Warsop to show that Warsop had a market charter!
Who are the experts on this? Come on people, get digging and give me some info. This could be quite significant.
