| Description | Sepia carbon double transfer print. Photographed by Percy J. Deakin, 96, Smallbrook Street, Birmingham, at 08.00 hours, 18 April 1897, lens focus 5" WA f/32. Exterior view of Old Meat Market building, Jamaica Row, Birmingham. A note on the back of the photograph states that the new meat market in Bradford Street was completed in November 1897, and the bulk of the business of the market depicted here moved to the new market; the darker band round the walls was allegedly grease which the photographer states was from the butchers and slaughtermen leaning against the building. |
