Title
Market in Lower Marsh
Description
Market stalls in Lower Marsh, Waterloo. Shown on James De La Feuille's Map of London, c1690, as a lane lined with cottages and small holdings crossing Lambeth Marsh, it was known as Lambeth Marsh until the middle of the nineteenth century when it became Lambeth Lower Marsh. By the end of the nineteenth century, it was just known as Lower Marsh. Lined with shops, it has also had a market in the street since the mid nineteenth-century. This area was badly damaged by bombing during World War II and the stalls are on a vacant site by the railway viaduct over Launcelot Street, which had been numbers 98-107 Lower Marsh. In the foreground, two stalls are selling handbags and clothes. There is a child in a pram, and a number of women are inspecting the stalls. The vacant site has recently been redeveloped and is a hotel.
