Description: | East Street Market is one of many markets in London. It is based in the Walworth area of Southwark and has been running officially since 1880, although there was a strong history of street vending in the area long before the official market began. Unlike some other markets such as Covent Garden, Billingsgate, and Spitalfields, East Street is a street market rather than a specially designed building. Markets at this time were very important, as this photograph of the crowd shopping in the market on a Sunday in the early years of the 20th Century shows. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | London Society | Subjects: | Cityscape | Temporal: | c1910 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
