The Markets of Old London

[Boxplayer]

Some great pics here of markets of London taken in the early part of the 20th century, some long gone, but some kind of barely recognisable - Covent Garden as a proper working market, Leadenhall empty of after-work bevying city workers ...don't think they'd approve of the hanging carcases ...

There are some really nice shots in there. I don't live in London but it would be great to see some then & now shots using these images.

For example, here is one I did by carefully pealing away the top layer of my photo of Tring Natural History Museum.

Good stuff... I come across articles from the gentle author every so often and usually a decent little read...

I love stuff like this, thank you for sharing. Earlier this year I read this book: http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/6127182/-/Product.html and it was fascinating, highly recommend it.
