Markets and Marketplaces of Britain : A History

This book charts the history of markets in the British Isles from the small rural fairs selling harvested crops, to the teeming markets of London's Covent Garden, Smithfield and Camden.

The author surveys the historic buildings and sites where these markets took place, and describes how they worked and what they sold. Accompanied throughout by colour photographs, "Markets and Fairs" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of British towns and society.
