Walthamstow market!!! wow

[@johnwalton2019]

Shopping in the great old days. Visit there now and you won't see crowds like this as shopping habits have changed so much...

Walthamstow market is still always crowded.

[@johnwalton2019]

@@bassinblue Not a market of over 500 stalls anymore. Most of the stalls past Palmerston Road have disappeared. Things do change, but if anyone suggests the market is as busy now as it was a generation ago never experienced the old market.

Walthamstow high street is a shadow of it's former glory
South of Palmerston road in particular
