Petticoat Lane Market, London, in 1970, with the bold yellow fascia proclaiming “THIS IS THE WORLD RENOWNED PETTICOAT LANE SUNDAY MARKET” across the modern concrete market building above the stalls. Beneath the sign, the tops of the market pitches and hanging clothes can be seen packed tightly together under makeshift frames and coverings, capturing the dense, improvised feel of one of the East End’s best-known street markets. The stark post-war structure above contrasts sharply with the lively trading below, making this a particularly telling view of Petticoat Lane as both a famous market and a very changed urban landscape by the start of the 1970s. This building was demolished in 2017 and replaced by a Travelodge Hotel
