EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stereoscopic image from the 1930s, we are transported back in time to the bustling scene near Billingsgate Fish Market in the City of London. The vibrant and lively atmosphere is palpable as men in hats and heavy coats haggle over fresh catches, their faces etched with the determination to secure the best produce for their customers. The wooden crates and barrels, stacked high and precariously balanced on carts, add to the sense of urgency and activity. The scene is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the traders, who braved the wet and muddy streets to bring the freshest fish to the market each day. The transport of the fish from the boats to the market was a complex and intricate process, with carts and porters navigating the narrow and winding streets of the City. The market itself was a hive of activity, with the sound of shouting traders, the smell of fish, and the clanging of barrels creating a symphony of sights, sounds, and smells that was unique to Billingsgate. This stereoscopic image offers a rare glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era. It is a reminder of the importance of the fish trade to the City of London, and the vital role it played in the daily lives of its inhabitants. Today, the Billingsgate Market may have changed, but the spirit of the traders and the dedication to providing fresh and delicious produce remains the same.
