Bonny Street Market has welcomed visitors from all over the country for generations. But all that is about to come to an end, as the market is set to shut its shutters for the last time on November 6.

On a miserable Wednesday morning, Blackpool's streets are relatively quiet. As a cold wind blows from the sea, any people who have braved the weather are sheltering in shops, away from the elements.Bonny Street Market has welcomed visitors from all over the country for generations. Even on a weekday in the middle of October, the market is full of shoppers grabbing their bargains.

"The nicest bit is how many people say they're going to miss this place, so you feel like you've done something right. People say it's in your blood and you'll miss it, and they're right, I will. It's a weird feeling. The woman had travelled all the way from Rhondda Cynon Taff in Wales to visit the famous Blackpool market. As she left she said 'you need to keep the market here'.

"I've always sold babywear, like little frilly dresses with matching underskirts and cardigans all with ribbons on. And I used to get little socks and stitch little flower buds on to match the dresses. It was all handmade back then. The only reason it's not anymore is because the lady who made the sets for me died."

At the opposite end of Bonny Street Market is Lynne's cousin, Diane Hall. Diane came to help Lynne out on her stall 25 years ago, and she's still here a quarter of a century later. Once the market closes, Diane thinks she'll look to completely start afresh, but she says it won't be easy.
