‘Mark It’ in Lancaster Traditional Cache
Team-SK: We've decided to put this one to bed. It has gone missing a couple of times now and we're finding it hard to maintain, plus the market is due for closure this year unfortunately.

One of a series of urban caches to recognise our historical ‘town markets’. We have added this Lancaster Market cache to the ‘Mark It’ series set by the waltons A team.
A magnetic nano.
STEALTH and PATIENCE will be needed! The cache is near an entrance to the indoor market.
Lancaster gained its first charter as a market town and borough in 1193, but it was not until King George VI's coronation in 1937 that it finally gained the status of a city.
The indoor market, which was destroyed by fire in 1984, has had traders based there for decades.
Marketgate Shopping Centre, where the indoor market is now located was built in 1995 and a fountain was erected by the Town Hall in 1997.
The decision was made in April 2010 for the indoor market to remain open and the tenants to get new leases, following two years of uncertainty about the market's future.
There is pay and display parking above Marketgate Shopping Centre.
