A new stall has been unveiled to Preston Market traders following a design 'charrette'.

The event - an intensive planning session - was held earlier this year with the brief to design a stall for the outdoor market, which was easy to set up and versatile enough to meet the needs of all traders.

Now, inspired by initial student designs, plus feedback from traders, Professor Charles Quick of In Certain Places and architect John Bridge of FWP came up with the final design.

The prototype, made by local joiner, Smithy Joinery, is constructed from ply and soft wood with nylon wheels.

Each stall consists of three different sized units, which can be arranged in different combinations.
