Grace Bolsover, the longest-trading Sheffield market stall owner, on why she still loves her career and Moor Market at 81 years old

Transcript

00:00 - Hello, I'm Grace Bobzolder.

00:02 I've got the fabric shop in the Mall Market.

00:05 I've actually been doing this 34 years

00:08 and it still feels like new to me.

00:10 I love it.

00:11 My latest friend was a miner

00:13 and he got married a young woman.

00:16 And he'd always say he was setting up a business,

00:19 which he did.

00:20 And I had a cousin in Leeds,

00:22 who had a little fabric warehouse at that time.

00:25 And he always told me he would call.

00:27 In them days, I hated fabric.

00:31 When my sisters used to go to fabric shops,

00:33 I used to want to scream.

00:36 But I went this day to have a look at their shop

00:39 in Leeds Market.

00:41 And I thought, "What a life I'm gonna live with it."

00:46 And I had 16 happy days at Christophe's.

00:51 Then I moved to Castle Market.

00:54 And then we've been here, as you know,

00:57 celebrating our 10 years.

00:59 So all in all, I've been doing it 34 years.

01:03 Absolutely love doing it.

01:05 At the moment, we've got fantastic Christmas fabrics in.

01:09 Be amazed if you come down and have a look.
