Wondering what to do on the last Sunday of the month? Well, if your in the South West look no further than Bridport’s charming Vintage Market. From stone cooked pizza in the back of an old van to vintage wireless radios – its got the lot. I’m currently decorating my new flat and was looking to pick up a couple of items and I was thrilled to find an eclectic mix of furniture from all eras.
The idea started two years ago by Sharon and Mike from The Old Albion as a way to market the antique shops and artists studios. Understandably, its taken on a whole to level and now people travel from all over to sell and shop.
As ever I had my camera with me so I decided to take some photos as I knew the thriving atmosphere would make it a great place for documentary photographs.
