Covent Garden old market photos

We popped in to see this exhibition by photographer Clive Boursnell documenting the last days of the old central London fruit, vegetable and flower markets at Covent Garden. It's only on till June 21, so hurry!

We got talking to an old bloke who worked at the market and he pointed out some of his old mates in the photos, ruefully adding, "Most of them are now dead."
