Still the same I'm afraid. I only go now if I've been unable to get down Lordship Lane on a Saturday.


There is a meat stall - excellent quality, perhaps slightly more expensive than William Rose but not much, but only a very limited selection.


A bread and cake stall - great choice and quality, the best stall there.


Two veg stalls - quality varies but decent value and great seasonal selections


One cheese stall - never tried it but looks ok


Such a shame as it's a great spot outside the library but obviously there just isn't the market (no pun intended) for it.

One of the Bread/cake stalls at the Farmers' Market is in fact the Blackbird stall from NCR! I think this market has detriorated a bit over the years...it used to be great to go there for fresh fruit in season - marvellous cheap strawberries in July and even an "Apple Fair" in September. But the fact is places like Pretty Traditional have pretty well cut this off at the knees now. It is okay as a destination walk on a fine Sunday still.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
