This is still one of the attractions of the town, with its large Victorian Market Hall and open air market being open six days a week, plus a monthly Farmers' Market. The town developed into a major shopping venue for the area. Stamford Street, the Victorian shopping area, boasts a range of interesting specialist shops.
