I'd forgotten about that place. It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one couple. They did have some quite interesting things.

There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic, where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously, whether it is profitable for the traders.
