I have fond memories of the old Pitsea Market when it still occupied a site behind the Century Cinema in Station Road. Anyone rember Alf "the market man"? He used to attract a big crowd there every week selling stuff at knock down prices. I first started buying records as a teenager at a wonderful stall that sold ex-juke box 45's with the hole punched out of the middle. Also fondly remembered -the old stall that sold american comics. I always bought a few after the Saturday Morning Matinee at the Century cinema. two bob pocket money used to go a long way in those days!
