Secondhand clothes and bric-a-brac had been sold in an area known as Peticote Lane since the early 17th century. An influx of immigrant Huguenots and later immigrants Jews developed the manufacturing in the area and maintained the traditions of trade. Despite a severe decline following WWII, a further influx of Asian immigrants in the 1970s once again restored the areas vitality. Date: circa 1930s

Petticoat Lane, London: A Vibrant Hub of Fashion and Commerce since the 17th Century This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Petticoat Lane in London's East End during the 1930s. The scene unfolds on Wentworth Street and Middlesex Street, where the tradition of secondhand clothes and bric-a-brac trading has been a cherished part of the area's history since the early 17th century.
