It’s a shame that so many shops are closing down, It’s the same sad story here. Valerie

Thank you for this awareness, and the ephemeral paper messengers dressed in their specialized
workday regalia. I tip my hat to the anonymous lithographers who churned out these engaging and enduring images. I so enjoyed revisiting some of the additional links above, under “Cries of London”.
What a place! – What traditions!

Most traders work on a relatively small margin and there just isn’t anything left once all bills are paid. I love the trade, it’s hard work but I wouldn’t swap it for anything else. Now then…I’m off to make Sausages!
