No fridges I know but how did we ever eat that much meat!

Gosh, yes, all those carcasses!  Looking at old recipe books, it seems we did eat more meat then.  In pre-fridge days I remember my mother examining joints of meat for flies' eggs.  Unthinkable now.

I've just noticed the potted plants and vases of flowers on the pavement in front of the stalls. I guess that was seen as showing themselves at their best.
