This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Petticoat Lane Market in London on a Sunday morning in November 1897. Although Middlesex Street had officially been renamed several years prior, the market stubbornly clung to its old moniker, a testament to its rich history and tradition.

The market stalls are laden with an array of goods, from textiles and clothing to fruits, vegetables, and household items.
