We have three photographs today of the Small Crane (where was the Big Crane?), all taken about 1890 with the potato market in full swing. The market was held here regularly and was an occasion where the town met the country. Farmers from as far away as Inverin would bring their potatoes into town to sell to shopkeepers and to individual customers. The scale, which you can see in the background, was used to weigh large sacks. In some of the images, you can see potatoes stacked loosely beside the creels. The scale was kept steady by large rocks. Some of the farmers are resting on sacks of potatoes while waiting for customers.
