Description: This view shows the Pearson building on Brook Street and Sneinton House, a hostel for men on Boston Street, in the background. 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 NTGM000776 and 777 and NTGM002156... 2157... 2159... 2160 ... 2158 ... 2162 ... 2164 ... 2165 and 2166
