View of shops and market stalls in Wentworth Street, Spitalfields, in the former Metropolitan Borough of Stepney. Looking east from steps in front of flats of the Corporation of London's Middlesex Street Estate. Attended by crowds of men and women dressed in coats, young women dressed in the fashion of the day, with a younger girl at the centre, Market stalls of Petticoat Lane include fruit and veg stalls, displaying pineapples, boxes of 'Eat Me' dates and signs for luncheon vouchers (LV), and stalls selling haberdashery and shirts. Shops visible behind include Dansie Fashions, Derek's Records, with a sign wishing 'you all a Merry Xmas', A. T. Inwald Limited, clothing (originally, Abraham Tobias Inwald from Russia, furrier), Restaurant Vernasca, and Permutt Fashion Stores. Piles of wooden fruit and veg boxes can be seen piled up at the base of the traffic restriction zone sign. Wentworth Street is a conservation area, designated in 1989.
