Beresford
Square market, early 1930's. This part was known as the High Pavement.
The Arsenal main gate can be seen in the background. Gas lamps, and
later naptha flares, were used after dark until electric lights were
introduced. Saturday night was the busiest time when food was sold off
cheaply. On Sundays local preachers and political speakers could be
heard in the square. The Market square is now traffic free.

Main
gate, Woolwich Arsenal, probably before the First World War. A horse-drawn
tram with open roof is clearly visible. The lack of market stalls indicates
that this is a Sunday scene. |
