Description: | Petticoat Lane Market is a street market in the Spitalfields area of the East End. There has been a market specialising in the sale of clothes and cloth on the site since Tudor times. The area has long been home to large immigrant communities, with French Huguenots living in the area from the 16th to the 19th Centuries, then Jews from the 19th into the 20th Centuries, and Bengalis from the 20th into the 21st. These communities had intimate associations with the market and the rag trade which services it. The market was known throughout the 20th Century for its vibrancy and the sales "patter" of its stall-holders. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | c1900 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
