Hutchinson's Market, Aldgate,1845. Creator: Unknown.

Hutchinson's Market, Aldgate, 1845. Newly built covered market in London: '...a commodious marketplace, a respectable tavern, and between 40 and 50 dwelling-houses. The market is intended for the convenience of the Jewish population of the district, who consume a considerable quantity of fish...The Market, Tavern, and houses have been erected from the designs of Mr. Arthur Ashpitel, of Old Broad-street, within twelve months...Part of the site was formerly occupied by meanly-built premises, in a sad state of dilapidation, and partly by two old mansions, which had been for many years untenanted. The property was intersected by a narrow alley, much infested by persons of bad character; and the entire locality bore that aspect of squalid poverty...'.
