This is the last of the Edwardian Day photos, and I feel it's appropriate. Why? Because the theme was about promoting the Lancaster Market traders, and this picture (I think) captures the success of that effort. Well done the traders - you turned an ordinary trading day into something more interesting!
If only we had an Obama this side of the pond. Perhaps then we wouldn't be so despondent?
And another set of three for you this evening. Hats seems to be the order of the day.
And you might also remember this Edwardian gent - or his work - from a previous post. Meet Alvin of Lancaster Pottery, whose creations some of you so admired in this earlier post.
Today's Saturday outdoor market in Lancaster's city centre was a themed day - Edwardian Market, Lancaster Unlocked.
The markets were even busier than usual, with traders and other locals dressed for the part. From my perspective, it was a welcome opportunity to capture a series of portraits. There had always been a plan to do something on the markets, but today was a gifted opportunity to highlight some of the characters who make them happen. The two gents above run stalls selling French breads and fruit and veg, and the lovely couple below run the second-hand book stall. Don't they all look the part? More photos to follow over the next few days - hope you enjoy them.
And here are three locals I found browsing the stalls, one of whom you've met on previous posts in this blog..
