Yes the London markets' are great. My local is North End Rd, Fulham. Fresh fruit & veg so cheap .. and characters from yesteryear.
No parrots or monkeys though.. shame about that perhaps .. ! Plenty of wild parrots in the parks all the same.. they seem to love it here.

Haha! Yes I know! The parrot belonged to the street photographer, not my parents.. you probably realised that. Apparently they were walking along and someone plonked the coat and parrot on his shoulder before they knew it.. and, well, there you are! I was parrot-less today..

Well I made it along there today. Yes, the Cordelle building has been replaced, but the rest seems to be the same. Funny feeling  to be standing in the spot they were 50 odd years ago..  good though!

Well.. there's the confirmation then.. Petticoat Lane Market.

That's great,  thank you everybody for such prompt help! I only wish I had some more queries to ask you all now.. !

I'll take a pic of the spot and post it here.

Many thanks to you all again!

Mark.

Wow that's great thank you for those leads!

My guess is, it's the Cordelle & Co in Middlesex St.  Which I've just found out is next to Petticoat Lane. I can very well imagine they would have visited that market..

That's excellent.. I'll take a trip along there this weekend with my camera!

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and so forgive me if I have posted this query in the wrong place or even the wrong forum!

I am trying to place where these pics were taken. They are actually of my parents from Devon who spent their honeymoon in London. I now live in London and was curious if I could find the spot where they were standing all those years ago!

I believe it was taken about 1958/9/or 60..   I thought it was Berwick St market in Soho, but I've walked up and down there and it's not. (I'm aware it may not exist anymore..)

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Mark.
