Welcome back to London on Day 20 of “28 Photos Later”. Drive carefully!
Today’s photo is “Still Rolling”. This market stall was resting at the edge of Church Street market, Lisson Grove, NW8.
What makes this market stall unique to London? If you look carefully, and maybe turn your screen upside down, you can just about read a name carved into the wood – Ellen Keeley Barrows, 33 Neal Street, Covent Garden. The Keeley firm made and rented out barrows and hand trucks to traders operating in London’s markets. I don’t think the firm still survives, but this old wooden market stall is still going strong.

It is rare to find these old ones still. In Xi’an I saw one at an old mansion and the other times in Europe usually only in old farm houses 🙂

I was lucky to catch this one.

Lovely to see a piece of equipment that you can visualize the worker fashioning in his forge.

Absolutely. And then you can imagine someone repairing it and maintaining it for years.
