Chesterfield Market Festival

Today I visited Chesterfield's Market Festival - it was the regular Flea Market but with a 1940s theme

Chesterfield's Town Crier welcomed us to the festivities

The Home Guard were on parade

The friendly ARP Warden was looking after the wash-day products

Was he telling a 1940s joke?

Washing 1940s style

There was also entertainment - George Formby (lookalike) and songs ...

... and some local dancers

There were also some vintage cars on display
