Doesn't ring any bells (pardon the awful pun). Was he inside or outside? There is a stall inside that used to be run by an asian guy, but that's just been taken over by two white blokes. And Jack's fabrics (the place that sells suiting down near the bottom, inside), has been taken over by the curtain fabric place next door (I think Jack retired). But they still sell the lovely wool suitings and overcoating.
There's now also a lovely jewish bloke outside (not there on Sat for obvious reasons), who gets some lovely patterned wools. And a guy who's there on (I think) Friday and saturday if the weather's good. He sells some seriously gorgeous silks for little prices, so I like him! (He also sells lace and assorted intersting bit and bobs.) Which haberdashery shop at the top? The big one or the little one? The little one's now been taken over by Samuel Taylor's and have put their prices up (don't quite understand it cos they're literally only round the corner). But in consequence the place seems to be selling less and less habby and more and more rubber stamps! But there's still a fabulous stall at the bottom, that's crammed to the hilt with all sorts of stuff (mostly hidden so you have to ask for it) - I swear if a fireman saw it he'd shut it down as a huge fire risk, but it's really good. Gonna stop going on now (can you tell I love the place?? :o) - the first thing I did when I came down to Yorks was spend about three days wandering round the market, learning my way round ).
