Bishopsgate Market

June 18, 2011

The marvellous industrial architecture of Bishopsgate Goods yard provided a backdrop to the spontaneous market that used to appear every Sunday. Here you could  buy virtually anything from a range of characters. Below we see a lady who has appeared before, with her shopping trolley. She is just browsing and didn’t buy from the man with the carboard box counter.

Man Taking a 'smoke break', Commercial Road 2010

Following a legal ban on smoking in all public places drinkers who smoke have to take ‘smoke breaks’ outside the pub. The gentlemen on the left gazes into the distance down Commercial Rd oblivious to the activity of the two men to his left. The two men in the photograph below light up in nearby Commercial Street many years before the smoking ban was ever thought of.
