Description: | Marie Henderson (b 1933) grew up in Stepney, in the East End, in the 1930s and 1940s. Here, in conversation with Lucy Kerr of Bishopsgate Institute, she recalls visiting Petticoat Lane Market when she was young. 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. Miss Henderson describes the influence of the area's large Jewish community, notable in the market's closing on a Saturday for the Jewish Sabbath, but opening on a Sunday, an arrangement uncommon elsewhere. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Leisure Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
