The image is a blue plaque on the side of a white building. The plaque is circular in shape and has white text on it. The text reads "Howden Civic Society Market Place" and "Market Day used to be Saturday. From medieval times farmers and their families came from nearby villages to buy and sell. In later years the workshops and shops in the market place supplied almost everything Howden needed, from boots to candles and hats to dresses, all made on the premises.
