Figure 32: 1820-30 ShepherdCovent Garden Market

"All night long on the great main roads the rumble of the heavy wagons seldom ceases and before

daylight the market is crowded. The very unloading of these waggons is in itself a wonder, and the

wall-like regularity with which cabbages, cauliflowers, turnips are built up to a height of some 12ft

is nothing short of marvellous." - Charles Dickens
