Description: | Standing tall amongst the thousands of stalls in Caledonian Market was this pitch selling brooms, brushes and mops. Bargain-hunters browsing the numerous silverware and antique sales would find hardware, clothing and food too.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, the iron-gated street market with its central 52-metre Victorian clock tower opened to thousands. Goods were 'spread like a magic carpet, some on stalls and many on the ground' as Mary Benedetta commented in her account in 'The Street Markets of London'.
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 |
