Kirkby, on the edge of Merseyside, had a population of 45,564 at the 2021 census — a town rebuilt substantially in the postwar decades, whose oldest landmark still predates the Domesday Book.
A market rebuilt for 2014
Kirkby Market has gone through significant redevelopment in living memory, reopening on 26 April 2014 after a rebuild that gave the town a modern indoor and outdoor market in place of what came before — a rare case of a UK town market being renewed rather than left to decline.
The town's oldest landmark tells an older story: St Chad's Church, Kirkby's parish church, was built during the 19th century on a site noted in the Domesday Book, meaning there's been a recorded place of worship there for close to a thousand years, even though the current building is far more recent.
What a rebuilt market doesn't stock
Even a market redeveloped from scratch is set up for stalls sold by the bag, not 3kg bulk bags, a vegan-specific range, or a halal-friendly selection ready for a business order.
