A Toby in the Lane reveals the rich fabric of the East End markets,
primarily in Petticoat Lane and Brick Lane, and celebrates the
street traders and stalls which call these London institutions
home. This is the story of immigrant communities and their fight
for survival, reflected in sweat and toil. Countless tales of
traders' scams, tricks and banter are found inside. Families who
have traded throughout the generations on the market offer up a
unique insight into the layers of history that - up until now -
have remained untold. The story also traces the sometimes
complicated relationships between trader and authorities in an
often amusing but informative tale of London market life. A
spellbinding, quirky and intimate portrait of life on the famous
markets of London's East End, written by an East End senior market
inspector, A Toby in the Lane will delight Londoners and visitors
alike.
