Brigg market stallholders Jan and Jim Yull have retired after 30-plus years on Brigg market.
Jan, 64, and Jim, 71, are well-known faces to local shoppers on their watch and watch repair stall in front of the Black Bull pub.
The couple, who live in New Waltham, said their children - two girls and a boy - have been to university and are well settled in their careers and that there is no-one in the family able to assume responsibility for their long-established stall in Brigg.
First trading in the early 1980s, they originally went to two markets - Brigg and Louth.
But they gave up the Louth stall some years ago to concentrate on Brigg.
Jan describes that as "our most popular and happy site."
She added, with a few tears in her eyes: "Time has crept up on us and it is now time to retire gracefully."
The couple have three grandchildren.
