Lewisham market
Lewisham market began in 1906 and is today one of a handful of six-day markets in London.
This picture taken in 1911 of Lewisham market was taken from the southern end, looking north towards Avenue Road, now replaced by the main entrance to the Lewisham Centre.
In 1944, Lewisham Market was bombed by a V1 rocket which landed 100 yards from the Clock Tower and killed 56 people, injured 99 and demolished part of the High Street shops.
