Looking north in the Market Place showing a stall with man alongside bending over a brazier roasting chestnuts in 1941. Behind the stall is the Locomotive public house. Photographer was Amy Celia Flagg.

Did the people in the old days know how GREAT Chestnuts were for their health?
I GOOGLED them and they are full of anti-oxidants plus vitamin C.
So get eating them
