Local memory
Why the place is remembered
Locals call the scales more honest than any clerk. That joke survives because weights are visible in the square while ledgers can be carried behind a shutter.
Market Square, Stonebrook
Market Scales
The scales stand on a fixed edge of Market Square where carts can queue without blocking the trading floor. Food sellers face the grain road; tool sellers turn toward Hammer Ward; imports face the harbor lane.
Wayfinding purpose
The open center of Market Square is working space, not an empty decoration. From the scales, the bank, depot turn, provision stalls, and roads to the keep and harbor are easy to read.
