Memory Lane - Street Market

David Meredith, 21st May 2021

The late May Bank Holiday Monday was the day that Bickleigh held a Street Market in the early 1980's. Starting as a fund raising event  to  modernise the village hall, the Market grew so popular that surrounding roads became blocked. People still talk about these days when Bickleigh welcomed crowds of visitors, come rain or shine. Do you recognise anyone in the photos?

Our thanks to Joe Ashworth for capturing the moment in 1984.
