Title
View of East Street Market
Description
View of East Street Market on the corner of East Street and Dawes Street, Southwark, showing a terrace of three-storey buildings with store fronts projecting onto East Street. On the left is J. Mille bakers, and on the right, the George IV public house and Harvey & Thompson retailers. The street is busy with shoppers, largely blocking the view of the street vendors. East Street was officially declared the site of a market from 1880, although it is likely a market operated here for centuries beforehand. Inspectors of the London County Council (LCC) Public Control Department, established in 1891, likely visited stalls such as this to control the standards of the weights and measurements used. The buildings in the view no longer exist; they have since been demolished ans replaced with residential houses.
