More about this scene
In the 1950s part of the bombed land around the cathedral was designated for open space to enhance the view of Christopher Wren's masterpiece. The garden at the bottom left was designed by Sir Alfred Richardson and laid out in 1959 as part of the City's contribution to the Festival of Britain.

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.
