Westhoughton, 13 July 2026

Looking across Market Street Outside a Cafe Crossing Market Street No one is wearing a flat cap today, so the people on Westhoughton's Market Street seem to have sorted their wardrobes for this heatwave.Sometimes I wonder about the wisdom of visiting this small Market Street so frequently because occasionally some people are suspicious of photographers, or photographers carrying a camera rather than a phone with a camera. Today, however, the opposite happened - the two women crossing the road in front of me laughed and waved to attract my attention. Perhaps I should be less paranoid.
