Bunting is strung across the Shambles in Wetherby with a patriotic red, white and blue theme and Union Jacks in celebration of the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The old Market Shambles dates from circa 1811 and is designed with a colonnade, a row of columns supporting arches. It had been 10 butcher's shops. The Shambles converted to a Market Hall in 1888 and was paid for by public subscription. Photo: Wetherby Historical Trust
