This row of old warehouses from Verde to Percy Dalton was known as Thieves Row.
I worked in Spitalfields Fruit Market from 1961 until it moved.
I started in the London Fruit Exchange first as a trainer buyer/salesman/auction buyer then started my own agency business. For a while I had an office on the second floor over Verde in the early 80’s. Tiny office shabby old Victorian interior £10 a week, and later an office over Glutman, just a few doors along from Verde.
Is it possible to obtain copies of these wonderful photos.
Great to see the beautiful colour and atmosphere that comes through in all the photos.
