THIS is a well-known scene in Warrington.

It shows the former Market where Golden Square now stands.

One of the real characters of market life was Charlie Lee.

He was a well-known feature of the fish market in the 1950s, because of a daily poem he penned which was hung just to the right of his stall.

Writing in the Warrington Guardian in 1969, Dr Johnson Ball said: "In the corner near the Barley Mow was Charlie Lee's oyster stall.

"When he was ready for business, Charlie hung a glass case containing a crab's claw which appeared to be the exact shape of a human leg. He also wrote poems which he put up for people to read. He was quite a character."
