Description: Sneinton market has always sold (and still does!) a strange variety of goods. At the time of this photograph, it sold mainly second-hand articles, from clothing, reading glasses! and shoes to bric-a-brac, as well as household goods. Sneinton Market was established around 1850 and there is still a very lively traditional market held every Monday and Saturday morning, but articles for sale now tend to be new (although there is still a thriving trade in slightly worn shoes!, fruit and vegetables that are 'fully ripe', hence cheap, and 'seconds' clothing. It is well worth a visit!). See Also NTGM002156. Sneinton wholesale market buildings is in the background (centre left) which sold fresh fruit and fish. The 'Pearson' building is visible on the corner of Gedling Street.
