Opis

From around 1850, Londons street markets grew in number and scale, giving working-class Londoners a site for shopping, entertainment and sociability. Cheap Street is the first major study of this subject, analysing the street markets as a component of Londons lively informal economy, and providing new insights into urban and consumer geographies.
