Londons Billingsgate Market is a fascinating pace. Some of the fish-porters there
Londons Billingsgate Market is a fascinating pace. Some of the fish-porters there still wear exclusive hats, which rank among the oldest in the world. Their headdress is a type of flat-topped bowler with a turned up brim. Each hat is made from five pounds of leather, 400 brass rivets, and 30 feet of waxed thread. The porters carry boxes of wet fish on their heads and the brims catch the drips. 18th October 1971

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of London's Billingsgate Market, a place steeped in history and tradition. The fish-porters depicted here are adorned with exclusive hats that hold a special place among the oldest headwear in the world. These unique headdresses take the form of flat-topped bowler hats with upturned brims, serving both as a symbol of their trade and practicality. Crafted meticulously, each hat is made from an impressive combination of materials: five pounds of leather, 400 brass rivets, and 30 feet of waxed thread. As they go about their daily tasks, these dedicated porters balance boxes filled with wet fish on their heads. It is fascinating to observe how the turned-up brims skillfully catch any drips that may escape from their precious cargo. The photograph was taken on October 18th, 1971, offering us a glimpse into this bustling market during the vibrant era of the 1970s. Beyond its historical significance and architectural charm lies an atmosphere teeming with energy as shoppers explore stalls filled with fresh seafood delicacies. This image serves as a testament to not only the enduring traditions but also to those hardworking individuals who have contributed to making Billingsgate Market an iconic landmark within London's rich cultural tapestry.
