Meat Market

This wonderful cavernous Victorian structure is Smithfield Market and no I didn't use my time machine to take a blip in 1911. It's my attempt to be arty and use the Sepia function. I think this camera makes tea too, but I have to read the manual again.

I walk through Smithfield everyday on my way to work. Luckily I like my meat as one wouldn't want to be a Veggie on walking through here at 8.45.

Here are some interesting factoids about Smithfields:

It is the only remaining "original" city market still in use. The old Billingsgate for your fish is, would you 'Adam & Eve' a conference centre and your Fruit & Veg market is a home for lost and abandoned tourists in Covent Garden.

There's been a market since 1137 and your Scottish patriot William Wallace
(or Braveheart/Mel Gibson to you and me) was executed here.

The street at the end where you get spat out, is called Cowcross Street because they used to.

**The only problem with arty sepia is you can't see that Smithfields is painted purple.
