Description: | Brixton's market dates from 1870, when it lined Atlantic Road beside the station. Since the 1950s, it has served the needs of the West Indian immigrants who moved into the area. It has become the largest market specialising in Afro-Caribbean food and other goods in Europe.
The market serves specialities such as flying fish, breadfruit, shark, pigs' tails, halal meat and plantain. Other stalls stock an extraordinary array of foodstuffs and other goods. The shop in the background is selling half wigs, top-knots and yak hair. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Communities Leisure Cityscape | Temporal: | 12 Nov 1994 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
