Antony Higginbotham MP today visited local traders at Burnley Market.
Burnley's traditional inside market is emerging from the pandemic with a new purpose and offering, according to publicity manager Raynor Pepper.
And that includes a new food stall selling black puddings, much-loved by Clarets supporters on match days, but much-missed since Donald Smith hung up his apron in 2019.
DS Deli, run by Scott Grindley, promises to bring back the historic tradition.
Commenting on the visit Antony Higginbotham said:
It was great to catch up with stall holders new and old at the market this afternoon.
There’s food from around the world, including Italian, Thai, Japanese and of course Burnley’s favourite black pudding. Not to mention a number of stalls with everything from homeware to clothing.
It was such a vibrant atmosphere with lots of optimism for what the future holds and I want to thank Raynor and all the stallholders for their warm welcome.
