Description: | Robin Dickers (b 1950) visited Petticoat Lane Market and Spitalfields frequently as a child in the 1950s and 1960s. Here, in conversation with Stefan Dickers of Bishopsgate Institute, he recalls the market as it was then. Specifically, he recalls a sea-food stall owned by a well-known vendor called "Tubby" Isaacs. Petticoat Lane is a street market in Spitalfields, which has been running since Tudor times. The market is known for its vibrancy and the sales "patter" of its stall-holders. It has also long been renowned for the many larger-than-life characters it attracts, of whom "Tubby" Isaacs was (literally) one. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
