The Fish Stall

A wet, windy & rather deserted Market Thursday in Garstang today.

Normally a bustling full town with lots of stalls & people. Many stalls did not turn up today & looking at the turn out they made the right decision.
This is the same fish stall that comes to our market on a Wednesday.

The To Let sign you can see is the old Barclays Bank….say no more! 😤

A grey day Pat, it’s rained a few times here, & been windy, but not as bad as down south.

Looks like a really miserable day. Good to have a fresh fish van turn up though. .All our banks are closing up as well we only one surviving at the moment and that is said to close up soon..

Shame about the banks going from the high street. It's not lke it used to be! We don't get good service anymore

[Joan Robillard]

very cool and interesting street scene

A cloud hanging over so many places and in wet and stormy weather it can feel rather hopeless.
Hope the fishman had good trade.

fish stall has a couple of customers Pat . , we've been OK in East Mids , we had it bad in the last storm

[Babs]

Looks like a grim day for the stallholders. Do you buy your fish from this seller?

[Barb]

Great street scene!

[Jane Pittenger]

Great story telling

Looks suitably brooding out there, but good to have a fish stall. The loss of high street banks is absolutely shocking. My mum can't use online banking.

[Issi Bannerman]

Yep, we have no bank in Ballater or Braemar now. And only one ATM in our village which now regularly runs out of cash. We have a mobile RBS which stops for 20 minutes a week! Funny how things can change in a relatively short space of time. What's a bank manager these days? Online banking is great, but ... Nice image of your wet and windy market day.

@onewing I do t actually Babs. I buy from the proper shop who has to pay rates. Different in our village when it comes there as we have no fish shop so no problem.

Great capture of the hearty folk who still came out

[Sue Cooper]

It does look rather bleak.

No fish shop or stall in our little town but the supermarket always have a good offering of many different fish. Expensive - blue cod - $65/kg!
