Légende

'Billingsgate Fish Market', 1808, (1944). View of the 'old' open-air fish market on the banks of the River Thames in the City of London. Fresh fish was landed and sold directly on the dockside. The market opened at 4 o'clock each morning, attracting all-night revellers, and was famous for the coarse language used by the female workers - two women can be seen fighting in the foreground. Previously published in "Microcosm of London". From "The English At Table", by John Hampson. [William Collins, London, 1944]
