Description: | Caledonian Market attracted bargain-hunters, collectors and general shoppers on Tuesdays and Fridays. For the rest of the week the iron-gated area was used as a cattle market. The central 52-metre high Victorian clock tower, was bombed in 1940,. However it still stands amidst the council-built flats of the Market estate.
Many items for sale at the market would be arranged on groundsheets or, as in this photo of lanterns, displayed across stalls. Silverware, antiques, bric-a-brac, clothes and food were amongst the thousands of goods available. | 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 |
