Description: | Cyril Arapoff photographed this man unloading his produce for sale in Caledonian Market. Fruit and vegetables were amongst the many products on offer in the vast and popular market that traded on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The greengrocers and fishmongers would have started work early, fetching their produce to bring to market. Wealthier stallholders had a horse and cart, whilst others had only barrows and prams. The average income for this type of stallholder was between ��3 and ��4 a week when this photo was taken.
Cyril Arapoff produced many images of the popular market, as did other notable photographers such as Bill Brandt. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Leisure Cityscape | Temporal: | 1935 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
