May Day Green: market day c.1910
This popular postcard image c.1910 is useful as the facades of Cheapside businesses can be seen in the background. A great crowd of people, mainly men, look towards the photographer, adding interest to the composition. Tram lines are just discernible on the stone-setted road surface. The image would have been colour-printed. The tall lamp was an essential and decorative feature of the Green.
