Story: A Street market is an outdoor market such as traditionally held in a market square in a market town, and are often held only on particular days of the week. However these days it is usual for it to be held daily. Two examples here are the Loughborough street market (first three pictures) and the East Street market (last two pictures) in Walworth, south London. East Street market is large and vibrant and is good for African and Caribbean fruit and vegetables as well as material and household goods. Sunday is the busiest day as the market consists of over 250 stalls. The market runs down East Street from the junction with Walworth Road to Dawes Street. East Street market is also known locally as 'The Lane'. There has been a market on this site since 1880. East Street is also the birthplace of Charlie Chaplin and features in the title sequence to the television programme ‘Only Fools and Horses’.
