Petticoat Lane Market, London, in 1972, at the junction of Goulston Street and Middlesex Street, looking across towards Aldgate in a part of the East End that has since changed dramatically. The scene catches the market in a more makeshift, end-of-day mood, with clothing rails, mirrors, folding tables and a blue van standing among litter-strewn ground and half-cleared pitches. Across the road can be seen the stark post-war block and shopfronts beyond, while the mix of flared trousers, long hair and casual knitwear gives the crowd an unmistakably early-1970s look. Rather than the more famous packed market crush, this is a useful everyday record of Petticoat Lane in transition, when old street trading traditions still occupied a landscape already being reshaped by post-war redevelopment.
