Kelley brings together design and material culture history, urban studies and social and cultural history to analyse the street markets' distinct characteristics. These included the flaring naked flames of their naphtha lights, their impermanent yet persistent unofficial occupation of space, and the noisy performative selling that took place there. The result is a new interpretation of London's urban geographies, moving beyond the accepted view of the West End as the consumer city and the East as the city of poverty, and demonstrating that the informality of the street markets was a powerful force in shaping representations of London and its people. 410 0$aManchester scholarship online. 606 $aInformal sector (Economics)$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aVending stands$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInformal sector (Economics) 615 0$aVending stands$xHistory 676 $a330 700 $aKelley$b Victoria$0997664 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480319203321 996 $aCheap Street$92288004 997 $aUNINA
