Title number: 1449
LSA ID: LSA/1941
Description: Opening shot shows a busy market with a cart and piles of crates and boxes. A man behind the cart wears a cap and long coat. Another shot shows the bustling crowds (all male, as far as we can see) around Covent Garden Market; all the men wear suits - some with caps, some with bowler hats. Next shot shows the corner of Bow Street and Russell Street, and a Souithern Railway lorry drives in front of the camera. On Russell Street, boxes are loaded into the backs of lorries. A man wearing a jacket and cap stolls past with his hands in his pockets, the centre of the market behind him.
