CROWDS flocked to Sabden's annual street market on Sun­ day and, despite the gloomy skies, the weather stayed fine. Although the number of stalls was down on previous years, the organising Holme Com­ mittee said it had been a suc­


cessful day, with the streets packed with visitors. There were numerous stalls


mt


and refreshment booths, and children's amusements while vil­ lage organisations including the football club and St Nicholas s Church ran stalls to boost their


funds. The proceeds fro th


event allow the Holme Commit­ tee to run the annual bonfire and fireworks display and the Christ­ mas carol service. Pictured above (from the left)
