Market Day in Bury




 
These photos were taken after 11 am today.  The town seemed very quiet.- lovely to shop in but not encouraging
for trade. This is a shame, given the great new stalls in the market these days.  But, it was a miserable morning weather-wise so hopefully by Saturday everyone will descend upon the centre again. The addition of  'street food' stalls seems to be popular, and the street theatre/arts add further colour. 
 
If I want a coffee in town now (and don't pick up a freebie in Waitrose) I tend to go to the Apex. Truth be told I don't generally frequent it otherwise, but the coffee bar facility is excellent. The rolls and sandwiches today looked superior to any I have seen  elsewhere in similar outlets. I was nearly tempted to have an early lunch. The bonus is that it seems cheaper too. But people still continue to cram themselves in Costa next door. But maybe stranger was the amount of people eating in Burger King  before 10.30. Brunch?  Well, an odd distribution of Bury visitors anyway.
