Borough market 1872 HG2436/51 some of whom are shownAn illustration of Borough market from 'London: a Pilgrimage' by Blanchard Jerrold and Gustave Dor, 1872. The first formal mention of this fruit and vegetable market, which operated at the southern end of London Bridge, was in 1276 when its location moved to the High Street. The volume of traffic meant that the market again moved, in 1756, to an area of land known as Rochester Yard. The market building illustrated was designed by Henry Rose in 1851,
