For nearly three decades, a sprawling fruit and vegetable stall piled high with rosy apples, ripe bananas, punnets of strawberries and grapes and leafy greens has been a near-constant sight at Monument Place Market.
But London Road Fruit and Veg has traded for the last time, as owner Denise Grivosti made the difficult decision to close down her life's work after 29 years.
She said: "I've battled with myself for months, asking myself - should I do it? Shouldn't I? A lot of my customers are not just customers to me, they're friends, and that's what makes it so difficult. It's more than just a stall to me."
