In 2003 the Burger bar (above) moved its venue to across the road; the ‘Purveyors of fine food’ lettering has been removed. Still six years later no one appears to be buying a burger and the man with the trolley (below) is walking away from the bar. When I visited the Slater Street market a couple of weeks ago I noticed that the burger bar has disappeared. The land on which the original burger bar rested has now been covered with ‘luxury flats’. Slater Street market is being squeezed out of existence by gentrification that has no regard for history, culture or people on low incomes.
