Whitefield Market 1860
London, 1860: the Whitefield Market brought new life to the Borough of Whitefield. Thousands visited on the opening day despite record snowfalls the night before. The development built on existing Roman foundations with Neoclassical and wrought iron innovations. To commence the opening, the borough committee unveiled a statue of Walter Scott, who was widely read in the Borough.
