A 1960s colour photo of a traditional greengrocer’s stall set against the historic facade of Ye Grapes pub in Shepherd Market, Mayfair, during September 1968. The stall is overflowing with fresh produce, including bunches of bananas hanging from a wooden frame, crates of lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, and leafy greens, with a hand-written “Peacock 1/-” price tag visible. Behind the stall stands the Ye Grapes public house, a prominent Victorian building established in 1882 and operating as a Whitbread house, featuring its iconic bunch of grapes sign and an oval “Allen’s Luncheons & Dinners” advertisement. To the left, a woman in a fashionable polka-dot mini dress and white headscarf shops at the market, while the “Golden Virginia” sign of a neighbouring tobacconist adds to the mid-century atmosphere of this charming London pedestrian enclave.
