View of Lower Marsh
Description
View of the market in Lower Marsh, Waterloo. Shown on James De La Feuille's Map of London, c1690, as a lane lined with cottages and small holdings crossing Lambeth Marsh, it was known as Lambeth Marsh until the middle of the nineteenth century when it became Lambeth Lower Marsh. By the end of the nineteenth century, it was just known as Lower Marsh. Lined with shops, it has also had a market in the street. In the foreground, women are inspecting the fruit and vegetable stall with William's Pears at 9d a pound, with the stallholder standing behind. In the background, numbers 50-54 Lower Marsh form a three-storey terrace with shops on the ground floor. Number 50 is occupied by Caters, and number 51 by R. Goodchild with a sign above for a 'Cafe Restaurant'. The buildings were demolished when the road was reconfigured and the site is now an open plaza.
