The earliest mention of Chester Market was in 1139, when the first shopping charter was  issued in 1208 and 'the men of Chester and heirs'  were granted the privilege of sole selling rights, except  the annual fairs which were fair game for all-comers. Henry III confirmed this in 1239 and so it remained right up to until the Great Charter 1506, which gave Chester its first mayor. With a sharp eye for business, the local boys wasted no time in expanding shopping opportunities to include coal and cattle markets among other enterprises. The  famous Rows were originally named after the trading that went on. There was a Shoemakers, Cooks and Ironmongers Row - and a Pepper Alley and Fish Shambles. Then came Linen Hall, the Fruit, Root & Herb Market...indeed Chester sold practically every thing! The horse, cloth and cheese fairs of old were to be the natural forerunners of today's magnificent array of shops, not forgetting the bustling town centre market, which has continued for centuries, by order of king and queen.
