Burnham Market retires for the day - an illustration

Burnham Market is a lovely little village in North Norfolk a few miles from the coast. At it's very centre lies The Green.

There had been an open air auction on The Green earlier and I returned later to sketch the heart of the village towards Front Street where we were staying just as the shops were lowering their canopies. One of the fishmongers from Gurney's Fish Shop, where we had earlier bought some delicious cray fish tails and smoked salmon, was busy packing away the last remnants of the day's catch as I sat and took in the scene and sketched.

The sun would dominate the illustartion - casting long fingers of shadow across the soon to be deserted road and ushering in a return to quiet at the end of another fair day in Norfolk.
