A busy street scene looking north up Commercial Street, Stepney, with numerous pedestrians, horse-drawn wagons and trams, and market carts. Old Spitalfields Fruit and Vegetable Market can be seen on the left. A covered market has existed on this site since 1638 when King Charles I gave a licence for flesh, fowl and roots to be sold on Spittle Fields. The market buildings seen, known as the Homer Buildings, were constructed between 1885 and 1893, and were acquired by the City of London Corporation in 1920 to serve as a wholesale market. These Grade II listed buildings still exist today as part of the modern Spitalfields Market; listing number 1065750. The fruit and vegetable market itself moved to New Spitalfields Market in Leyton in 1991, and Old Spitalfields Market is now a popular fashion, arts and crafts, food and general market, open seven days a week. The terrace of buildings just before the market, south of Brushfield Street and including The Britannia public house, no longer exists. The site is now, and has been in various guises, The London Fruit Exchange. The iron railings of Christ Church Spitalfields and a urinal can be seen on the pavement to the right. Beyond these, on the corner of Fournier Street, is the Ten Bells public house. In existence since at least 1755 when it was known as the Eight Bells Alehouse, it changed to the Ten Bells when Christ Church Spitalfields installed a new set of chimes in 1788. Renamed Jack the Ripper for a short time between 1976 and 1988, it stands today as The Ten Bells. It has a Grade II listing; listing number 1065204.
