I lived in the East End of London and went to the market almost every Sunday. This photo brings back many happy memories. My then boyfiend and I bought our first item for our
bottom drawer in Petticoat Lane Market, in 1954. This was a white china tea set with a gold rim, which I still have. We married in 1956. My husband has since passed away and I now live in The Netherlands. This really is a very special photo for me. Thank you.
