This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a busy Sunday at Petticoat Lane Market in 1969, located at the Aldgate roundabout end of Middlesex Street. The scene provides a candid look at East End market life, featuring traditional stalls draped in heavy, weathered canvas awnings. Shoppers, including a woman in a blue coat and others carrying colourful bags, browse a diverse array of goods ranging from striped dresses and hanging garments to toys and boxing gloves displayed on a lattice background. In the foreground, the hood of a light blue Ford Escort van is visible, while the background is dominated by the brutalist concrete pillars and dark recesses of the old multi-storey car park, a structure that has since been demolished. The image is a gritty and evocative document of a vanished corner of London’s commercial history. This digital download is an ideal choice to print for yourself as a piece of atmospheric 1960s urban wall art.
