Petticoat Lane Market on Middlesex Street, London, in 1972, seen after trading with the stalls largely dismantled and the street strewn with cardboard, string and other market debris. The long line of empty barrows and timber frames runs past a bus stop for route 78, while signs for a Car Park Entrance and the bold fascia proclaiming “THIS IS THE WORLD RENOWNED PETTICOAT LANE SUNDAY MARKET” anchor the scene in this well-known East End market district. Parked beside the barrows are a dark van, a Mini and a red saloon, while traders and market workers linger on the pavement as the place winds down. Rather than Petticoat Lane at full crush, this is a valuable everyday view of the market in its untidy aftermath, with much of the surrounding streetscape since altered or redeveloped.
