railsquid Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 These ones, mainly: Fairground/festival stalls, not market stalls. 5 1 Link to comment
Cat Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Ah, 1999 has them listed as Street Stall; so searches for 'stalls' 'market' 'festival' failed. Thank you! Link to comment
