The Clock Tower, Caledonian Market, Islington, London

This picture from a collection of photographs of Victorian London shows the meat market at 4.35 pm. The market workers have left for home, but will be back early the following day. The picture shows the wooden pens to hold and control the livestock. (Despite the caption added by the photographer, this is not Smithfield Market.)
