It was a big day in the history of Park Lane in 1984.

The Park Lane Market opened and shoppers loved it.

It provided the Echo with all of these scenes from 1984 to the early 2000s.

As well as the opening day, we got views from 1987, 1988 and 1997 as well as traders in 2000, 2004 and 2005. Enjoy the memories.
