Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Harringay Market, 1986

Photo originally added by Hob in a forum post on Harringay Market, with the following comment:

This is a picture of the market at the Harringay Arena in about 1986. This was the guy selling fruit. There was also a guy selling meat and someone selling household goods I think. They were the real deal with lots of talk, banter and great bargains. The later in the day the better the bargains. I remember leaving there with amazing amounts of meat I got for about a fiver. It had sat in the sun for about 5 hours though, so it was like russian roulette with the bacteria. Never had any adverse reaction to it, so lucky.
