Description: | Horse-drawn and motor vans crowd round Smithfield Market delivering and collecting goods.
Smithfield is London's largest meat market. Covering an area of 10 acres, it has stood on this site, just outside the old City walls, for 800 years. The Victorian market was built directly above railway lines, so meat could be delivered directly from all over the country.
J T Hart & Sons, one of the traders at the market, was still in business here in 1938, judging by the presence of another of the company vans in a photo of that date. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | 1920 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
