My maternal grandfather, Bert Idenden was a market trader in 1920s & 1930s. He did different markets: Ridley Road, “The Waste” Kingsland Road and Leather Lane. His stall was bits of this and that, toiletries, cleaning stuff, a bit like a Pound Shop. But some weeks he only made a pound. While still at school my uncle had to help on the stall on Saturdays; it stood him in good stead as he eventually ran his own business. I remember Ridley Road for the ice cream cornets that had a chocolate button on top. Also the apple fritters and sarsaparilla drinks, which came in three different colours at The Waste.

I love your unique style of drawing.
The way you emphasis some things and leave out some minor details.
Lovely work.

Again, lovely, intricate work. Gregg’s stall looks as if it took weeks to sketch.

Great drawings, Ridley Road seems to have changed a lot from the time when I used to go shopping there with my great aunt! Valerie
