EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century engraving transports us back in time to the bustling Metropolitan Meat Market in London. The market, which originally covered an expansive 30-acre site and grounds, was located between Hungerford Road and Hartham Road (north), Caledonian Road (east), Brandon Road and Blundell Street (south), and York Way (west). Previously, the area had been known as Copenhagen House, a popular pleasure resort and tea garden. The market occupied most of the land in this area, providing a vital hub for the local community. In the image, we can see the vast expanse of the market, with numerous stalls and pens filled with livestock. The intricate details of the engraving show the dedication and craftsmanship of the artist, capturing the raw energy and bustle of the marketplace. The markets in this area, which included the Metropolitan Meat Market, finally closed in 1963, marking the end of an era. This engraving offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual record of a time when markets played a central role in the daily lives of Londoners. The image is a testament to the rich history of the area and the importance of local markets in shaping the fabric of urban communities.
