    (continued from previous page)
    no markets held there nowadays. Long ago pedlars used to go from house to house selling goods and some of them still come. A halpenny was called a "make" and a penny was called a "wing." A threepenny bit was known as a "kids eye" and a sixpence was called a "tanner." A "bob" was the name given to a shilling. The old fourpenny and tenpenny and four shilling coins are now gone out of use.
