Any history buffs here?
What was the typical size / dimensions / floor plans for an indoor store in the middle ages, with a customer area and an employee area? Inquiring minds wish to know.

- Im afraid I havent got a clue but maybe some of the Time Team episodes will help you with your research.

- Contacted the Archeology institute today, and they had no idea.. I find that, well, odd to say the least :roll:
- Not sure they had stores in the middle ages.
- They did, to an extent. It wasn't like today's stores! From the illustrations from the era, they usually consisted of 1 room, maybe 2 rooms. I'll probably just wing it, not like it has to be exact as this isn't for a museum or anything.. although I like to be as accurate as possible given the circumstances.
- You could look at middle eastern bazzars for individual size I don't they have changed much since the middle ages anyway.
Or failing that a local outdoor or indoor market should give you a good idea????
