Moore Street is famous for fruit and veg and great bargains in flowers.  Missus Albany a leading Moore Street florist relates: "Years a go Saturday morning was our busiesty for flower sales. Ya see himself would come home mouldy from a Friday nights drinking, a row would happen and sometimes more then words were exchanged. Early next morning ya could see the men buying the makey ups. Alack! It’s a different world today".
