Time Warp

February 9, 2012

Sclater Street market on Sunday has the ability to suggest to visitors that they have travelled back in time. You could be forgiven for thinking you were back in the 60’s (or further) once you begin to explore the market. The stalls sell gadgets, radios, cameras and tape recorders made over 50 years ago and the people selling them look as if they are adults of the 60’s untouched by flower children.
