EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the bustling atmosphere of Columbia Market in London during the late 19th century. Established in 1869 by the renowned British philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906), the market was a covered food market with an impressive 400 stalls. Burdett-Coutts, known for her charitable works and social reforms, aimed to provide a clean and hygienic environment for the local community to purchase fresh produce and goods. The market, located in the heart of London, was a popular destination for both residents and visitors alike. The vibrant scene in this photograph showcases the diverse range of goods on offer, from fresh fruits and vegetables to meats, fish, and baked goods. The market's covered roof protected shoppers from the elements, ensuring a comfortable shopping experience, rain or shine. Sadly, the historic building that housed Columbia Market was demolished in 1958, making way for new developments. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the market's rich history and the important role it played in the lives of Londoners over a century ago. The image also highlights the entrepreneurial spirit and philanthropic efforts of Angela Burdett-Coutts, who dedicated her resources to improving the lives of those in need.
