PETTICOAT LANE
FAMOUS MARKET MAY GO
LONDON. April 5,
New Zealanders who have been in London and made a. visit on a Sunday morning to the famous Petticoat Lane market, will be interested to learn that it may disappear in the changes that are taxing place in the congested area between Houudsditch and Middlesex street, which is the real name of the “Lane.”
Here the City Corporation have put up new blocks of flats to which the overcrowded inhabitants are flocking. An area about three acres in extent is now cleared and awaiting plans for rebuilding. It is probable that part of this site will be occupied by a new <o!d storage building for the Port of London Authority, and the rest mav become an open space for the benefit of the inhabitants of the now flats in Bearstcd House and Dutton House, which new flank the new New street. Tin 1 new flats have set all Petticoat Lane agog. ThoL are clean and bright, with four rooms, a kitchen, scullery, cupboards, electric light, gas fires and a’l for 27s fid a week. The shops below have given an entirely new tone to the “Lane.” and rUI-ostahlishod stallholders' wonder what will become of the Bandar market at which many of them take hundreds of nounds.
