More about this scene
The cries of traders echo through the expansive square, planned by Inigo Jones.The scene has been described by a contemporary guidebook: ‘All night long the rumble of heavy wagons seldom ceases, and before daylight the market is crowded.The very loading of these wagons is a wonder, and the wall-like regularity with which cabbages, cauliflowers and turnips are built up to a height of some twelve feet is nothing short of a miracle’.
