Trash or Treasure?

Albert Square (no, not that one) is an unexpectedly grand garden square in the Stockwell/Oval/Vauxhall triangle. Additional glamour is conferred by the area famously being home to one or two names from the acting profession.

Each year, the residents association, the Albert Square and St Stephen’s Association (ASSA) holds an annual street sale.

Residents of Albert Square, Aldebert Terrace, St Stephen’s Terrace and Wilkinson Street set up stalls outside their homes and sell unwanted toys, clothes, books, DVDs, furniture, plants and pretty much anything apart from food (which is not allowed). Some give the proceeds to charity.

It's all a bit bonkers but good natured, and there's always a few treasures to be had, especially for early birds.
