Or......you could go live in the country

Mrs. DrinkingBuddy and I were only commenting today on how great the market is and we're pleasantly surprised by the rare musical performance. I personally wish they would extend the road closure up to Fellbrigg now as the extension of the market is (at least to us) a huge success, even with the Parkin problems it brings to those of us living near by.

I bought a cake there on Saturday to take to a celebration.


It was ?7 and way way nicer than anything I could have bought in a supermarket. Lemon and poppy seed, yummy icing, and nicely presented in a box.


I thought it was a bargain.

Hi All

I have nothing against Northcross Rd market. I do like to have a potter down there from time to time and have bought the odd thing or two but I thought that markets were supposed to be cheaper given that the overheads are less and the savings are passed on to the customer.

I used to love East St market because it was good value and you could have a haggle, not sure if Northcross is good value and I wouldn't want to barter down on any prices.

Northcross Road market isn't about bargains, it's about artisan produce, good quality vintage, antiques and street food (very ED) - if you want 'cheap' markets then get thee to Rye Lane where fruit, veg, meat, seafood and clothes are extremely well priced.

Well they saw you coming didn't they

Any attempt at comparison is futile, NC market is NOT trying to compete with Rye Lane and Brixton etc !


It's like slagging off the NC market popcorn stall because it costs more than Co-Op's popcorn, non-sensical, NOT trying to be a Co-Op is it !?


Rye Lane 'market' doesn't sell antiques, art work, fudge, gourmet hotdogs, home-made quality pies, 2nd hand books, vintage clothes, bike repairs.


Pointless, ill-conceived comparison IMO.

Is it me or is North Cross road market shrinking / less busy these days? Sad to see, as some fab stalls - the food (all of it!), popcorn, new arts & crafts stall for kids, clothing...


Need the market to get bigger and have more visitors, hopefully it is just a slow patch, would be good to see it as popular as it has been to date!

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
