Covent Garden: The Fruit, Vegetable and Flower Markets

"In the late 1960s and early 1970s Clive Boursnell shot thousands of colour and black and white photographs of the Covent Garden fruit, vegetable and flower markets, documenting the end of an era before the markets moved out of their site in the heart of London. The book contains almost three hundred of those images, portraits of the people working and using the markets, the flowers, fruit and vegetables, the streets and architecture of the Covent Garden area and its distinctive character, through every season. It also includes interviews with the people who knew the market best - the porters, the stallholders, the flower sellers."--BOOK JACKET.
