Fruit stall, street market, Electric Avenue by Brixton Road, Lambeth, London SW9
Feb 2008
This prime market patch - right by the junction with Brixton Road - has been used by the same family for over fifty years, and the stall hasn't changed much over the years.

Timothy Whites has been taken over by Boots who disposed of the street display and covered up the windows with unattractive white boarding.
