Millom is the type of place where you can imagine a market working perfectly. The town is home to a tight-knit community where traders could build up a loyal and regular clientele. It has maintained enough of its original buildings and appearance to provide a charming setting for a host of stalls.
Millom also has all the necessary paperwork needed to host a market. Its charter dates back as far as the 13th century, and was granted by Henry III on July 22, 1251. Now, more than 750 years later, the Millom community is at work to try and revive the town’s market heritage.
