More about this scene

The arch of this impressive monument was originally crowned by Wyatt’s colossal equestrian statue of the England’s military darling, the Iron Duke. In the 1880s, when the French wars were long forgotten, it was moved to Aldershot and replaced by the dramatic bronze by Adrian Jones, an allegorical rendering of Peace dropping out of the heavens onto the chariot of war.

In 1881 at 336 Portabello Road single woman Mary Dowsett aged 46 was greengrocer and had her neice Elizabeth Poulter living with her. She may have had a stall in the market as it mainly sold fresh-food in the 19th century? I think the present market resides in the district of Notting Hill.
Alexander Mcnab aged 29 & his wife Harriet aged 35 with their 2 young sons resided at number 324 Grays Inn Road on the 1901 census. Earlier in 1897 Alexander had been a Stage Carriage driver in Holloway. Cornelius Crawley another Omnibus driver probably was their lodger.
