Man shopping for second hand clothes on Cheshire Street, 1988
Before Brick Lane was invaded by money and trend setters there were many clothes shops that opened for the Sunday market. Cheshire Street came alive on Sundays as derelict properties opened their doors to reveal heaps of second hand clothes. Today the equivalent of these shops are ‘retro’ establishments. Retro shops present second hand clothes with labels such as ‘1950’s classic’ and charge exorbitant prices.
