199 Saturday 30 December 2023 Ormskirk
The final trip of 2023 was a visit to the largest town in Lancashire that I'd never previously visited. This was specifically to visit Ormskirk market and sample some Ormskirk gingerbread for our All The Regional Foods film series.
The weather was terrible and there were only a few stalls braving the wind and rain. A guy running a cheese stall confirmed the worst : the gingerbread stall wasn't there. We retired to a cafe and pondered what to do next.
We found a small record store above a clothes shop but Simon didn't find anything. We then went to an art gallery but it was between exhibitions and the display room was empty.
We went to the train station for another nice surprise; the next two trains to Burscough Bridge were cancelled. We took a bus , which itself was 20 minutes late , to Burscough. The next train from there was in another 45 minutes so we went to a canalside pub to wait out most of the time.
The footage from this highly successful trip can be found on here.
