Sisters who run the popular Dunns Trimming stall are leaving Barrow Market after 50 years.
Susan Dunn and her sister Carole began working as Saturday girls at the haberdashery before moving to what was the new market in 1971.
The pair have become well known in the town and often provide tips and advice to customers on all their crafting and sewing needs.

Barrow Market posted on its Facebook page on May 31 to say goodbye to them amid the Love Your Local Market celebrations taking place.
The post read: "We say a fond farewell to Susan and Carole at Dunns Trimming Stall on their retirement.
"Susan and Carole have dedicated 50 years, all of their lives, to their business and Barrow Market Hall.
"We will miss them both terribly but they deserve a rest and time to themselves.
"Happy retirement girls, enjoy the next chapter of your lives together but please keep in touch.
"Thank you for your loyalty and everything you’ve brought to our market."
