Flea for a stall selling secondhand clothes. BYO trestle tables and racks
There has been many a market regular who's pondered the origin of ‘flea market'. Like, was the first flea market run by business-savvy fleas that sold really tiny things for big money? Or did people gather to trade their wingless insects with one another? The answer, curious people, is this: the first flea market is said to have been born out of the French Marche aux puces in the northern suburbs of Paris. Here, people bought goods from far and wide and sold them for profit. However, little did they realise that the fabrics sold were vermin-infested - Le Gross.
This Sunday, you won't have to get up before you wake up to scramble through junk in Camberwell; Caledonian Lane will host its own flea market. Bar-lady Andie will be selling her trash-to-be-treasure to raise dollars for her overseas adventure. But you're invited to set up a stall, too. And the best bit? It's free to do it. So bring your pre-loved junk, sell it at this midday market and feel safe knowing that there'll be no sign of critters bringing on a second bout of the bubonic plague.
