On my previous photographic visit to Conran Street Market the place was deserted, the cleaner had kindly let me in to take some snaps.
It is due to close this coming Saturday 19th July, after more than a century of trading.

I absolutely love Conran Street Market. I have been going for years, I honestly wished I would have taken a photograph on every visit. It’s my feel good place that brings back so many memories, friendly, funny, a look at life in every visit. What an absolute pleasure to have experienced it as long as I can remember.

This is a local basic market with few modern amenities and no access considerations. You may find some bargains on a good day but many of the stalls stand empty, and the general disrepair all around is grim. One word about the toilets: don’t.

So it goes – a rainy Tuesday, following days of summer sunshine, paddling in puddles, as the drips dripped off the stalls’ sagging roofs, some empty some laden, with this that and the other.
Upright citizens at large in a skewed world, hi vis, low cost goods with nowhere else to go.
Coat hangers just about hanging on.
