EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Soho's Berwick Street Market in London during the 1970s. Taken by Robert Stallard in 1973, the image portrays a rainy day in the vibrant district, with colorful umbrellas dotting the scene as people huddle under them, browsing the various stalls and shops. At the heart of the scene, a Wimpy bar sign stands proudly, its red and white stripes a beacon of warmth and sustenance amidst the wet and windy conditions. The market itself is a riot of activity, with traders selling an array of fruits, vegetables, and other provisions from wooden crates. The signs above the stalls, with their hand-painted letters, add to the eclectic and unique character of the area. Despite the rain, the market continues to thrive, with customers undeterred by the weather as they engage in lively negotiations with the traders. The wooden crates, piled high with produce, add to the sense of tradition and authenticity that defines Soho's markets. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when Soho's markets were a vital part of the community, providing fresh produce and a sense of connection to the past. It is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the people of Soho, who continue to embrace the area's rich history and vibrant culture, come rain or shine.
