such a treat to see the wonderful market again. i lived in the lane from 1948-1963. the local's were great people, never a dull moment, we were entertained every week by the amazing showmen,apart from the plate seller you just stood in awe at the dress seller, jackie braufman, what a character.they were allways friendly to us kids. great times.

Always went down the lane with my mum and nan on a Sunday back in the 1950s. My brother and me shared a glass of sarsaparilla from a street vendor whilst my nan sucked the flesh off a bowl of jellied eels and my mum devoured a plate of winkles. My nan used to say you could lose your watch one end and buy it back at the other. Good old days for sure! I had my first suit made from a tailor somewhere along there in the early 1960s, but can't remember the name now. Nice memories.

Every other weekend me and my dad got the tube from Debden to Liverpool st walked down the lane, bought herrings for my nan and pop. Then we would go to Club Row where my great uncle used to sell dyed sparrows as canaries. Then of to Coke's pie and mash ( 2pie 2mash and liquor). Back to nans for a cup pf tea and off home to Debden on the tube. Thats me now in the Pic at a hotel in Venice where James Bond had his first Vodka Martini. Things dont change only places.

I remember visiting Petticoat Lane with my mum & dad back in the late 60's and 70's. Dad used to say that, when he was a boy, he would have a glass of sarsaparilla from the lane I think it was. He said there was a gent I think named Joe Asinine who sold it. Dad said he used to say "Joe Asinine - get your sarsaparilla here". I have found only one source saying that Joe Asinine sold ice creams so not sure if I'm mixing this up. Would be happy to get confirmation of this. All the best.

Anglo Saxon Head Hunter So what do you mean by pre invasion ? The Asians ? The Jews? You know as well as I do, the east end has always been a melting pot. The reasons there's less whites is because they have moved out. Didn't have to. Yep, I've gone too but not because of the influx of immigrants. Just admit, you are part of the UKs equivalent of the KKK.

Gosh! I had a gyroscope as a child in the 1950s, and although I have no proof of where it was bought, it may well have been from your family market stall as I was taken to Petticoat Lane so often. I regret there is no further footage of the 'Lane' in my collection - but I see a number of other contributers have uploaded film to youtube, so keep checking and who knows, you may yet find film of your family market stall.

Best thing thar ever happened, was all those hagglers & shiesters getting run out of there. For 100 years at that time, the area had been made a slum by those people living and working in it. Mostly immigrant Polish Jews. Because BEFORE that time of the immigrants, Londons East End, WhiteChapel (which was built in the 1700’s) was a nice place to live. That all changed over time, when those immigrants moved into that area. That”s not being “racist”, thats not being a so called “anti-semitic”. That’s putting it clearly without distorting the truth. I’m so sick of hearing the lies about this area to cover up the truth of the matter. People have a way of romanticizing the past in their minds, for something it never was.
