Old Covent Garden
"In the late 1960s and early 1970s Clive Boursnell shot thousands of colour and black and white photographs of the Covent Garden fruit, vegetable and flower markets, documenting the end of an era before the markets moved out of their site in the heart of London. The book contains almost three hundred of those images, portraits of the people working in and using the markets, as well as of the streets and buildings of Covent Garden. It also includes interviews with the people who knew the market best - the porters, stallholders, flower sellers, producers, farmers and nurserymen"--Back cover.
