The Christmas spirit blazed along the length of Fishpool Street this year making it an incredibly tough choice for the judges of our Best Dressed Home Competition.
So much ingenuity and artistry was shown by residents up and down the street that they felt the originally promised two prizes would not be enough. After much deliberation they decided to award prizes in six categories:
Most impressive display - No 80 (pictured above)
Best wreath – No 137
Best lighting – No 196 Most elegant window – No 40 Best window evidently done by a family – No 60 Special ‘fun’ award – No 13
The judges felt that the efforts obviously made by families merited particular recognition and awarded Highly Commended consolation prizes to numbers 76, 98, 100, 112 and 184.
Because the number of prizes had grown the judges decided to make each one a modest but tasty token.
Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to everyone for participating and thus making the street such a joy to behold – for both residents and the hundreds of passers-by.
