More about this scene
The New Shambles, off Finkle Street, were built in 1803. The word 'shambles' comes from the Old English 'sceamol', which originally meant a bench for the sale of meat. The New Shambles replaced the Old Shambles, which were on the west side of Highgate. As we can see in this photograph, many types of shop occupied the units in the New Shambles.
