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 1910s

Petticoat Lane: A Vibrant Hub of Trade and Fashion in East London's Middlesex Street This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Petticoat Lane, a renowned street market located in the heart of London's East End on Wentworth Street and Middlesex Street. The area, known for its secondhand clothes and bric-a-brac, has a rich history dating back to the early 17th century. In the 1600s, an influx of Huguenot refugees fleeing religious persecution in France brought textile manufacturing traditions to the area, which helped establish the market's reputation. Later, an influx of Jewish immigrants further bolstered the trade. Despite a severe decline following World War II, the area was once again revitalized in the 1970s by an influx of Asian immigrants. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, shows the market in full swing, with a crowd of shoppers browsing through the stalls, eagerly examining the array of clothing and fish on offer at Polly Nathans Fish Shop. The press of bodies, the colorful clothing, and the lively energy of the shoppers all contribute to the sense of excitement and anticipation that defined Petticoat Lane. The market's unique blend of fashion, tradition, and cultural exchange continues to draw visitors from around the world, making it a cherished piece of London's history and a testament to the enduring power of community and commerce.
