Giant pumpkin wows the crowds during street sale

The fourth grand annual street sale took to the roads of north St Margarets on Saturday.

The sun shone down on the giant street market when householders set up stalls in Northcote Road, Heron Road, Newry Road, Haliburton Road and Talbot Road, selling everything including antiques, home produce, books, toys, clothes and bric a brac.

Here, Allan Lawrence and Ellie Morgan, pictured, are just about holding on to a mammoth hybrid pumpkin/squash grown on the Cole Park allotments.

The mouthwatering produce they had on sale in Northcote Road included tomatoes, beans, including a variagated black' variety named countrywoman, plums and basil, along with homemade jams, piccallilli and bottled guerkins.
