Market Day

Bridge over the Rail lines.  The Market is on either side of the lines and relies on the train passengers as well as day trippers into the village

Get down to Tynemouth on a Sunday we have just had our second week down there, minding our little stall and thoroughly enjoying the experience. Up at 7:00am for our first day and all excited the stall was set up and we spent the rest of the day chilling out, what a relaxing experience it turned out to be.  I took some pictures of the day which, is what you can see in this post.  As I mention we have actually had two weeks on the market now.  The first week went fairly well for the shop, after all that's why we are here, but the second was a bit dis-heartening.  The more regular traders (some have being going for over 10 years) put the poor trade, down to the current refurbishment of the rail system which is currently underway.  Still enjoyed the time spent there though.  Quite a few comings and goings but no one putting there hands into their pockets.  Still there is always next week

Busker at the Station

His collection looked a bit thin when I passed,  he was obviously having a bad day like the rest of the traders. I was quite impressed with the vocals though.

 

Tynemouth Station was built around 1882 and is now a Grade 2 Listed Building. The architecture of is something to be admired and should be quite spectacular once it has been restored.
