Conran St is now enclosed by a 12' wall and barbed wire (it may have been before but only recently visited for the first time).
Newton heath by the canal, always went when I visited my Aunt, parked on the rough ground,went last year and was amazed as only a couple of dozen stalls open.
OP, you should be more worried about Urmston market as it was your local and it is now the pits and will no doubt shut soon.

Thats really sad, in the early 80's when i was around 4 or 5 me mam took me on NH market and made me choose between a united and city scarf (my first footy gear). Since that day i've been a mad city fan ever since. Its such a shame its closed down.
