Housewives queue around a greengrocer's stall on Wood Green High Road. The original caption states that "potatoes, once taken for granted as the mainstay of a meal, are now regarded as rare prizes and worth waiting for".
Tags (All lower case. Use " " for multiple word tags):
Albums: Postwar Wood Green
Location: Coleraine Road N8
There's still a stall there today, but it currently sells fish.
These photos are little gems showing ‘ordinary’ life in Wood Green. Interesting are the clothes and almost all the shoppers are women.
Did men 'do' shopping in those days?
Wow - amazing
