Humberstone Gate, Leicester

Market stalls line the street. Leicester still has its town centre open market. Note the cabman's shelter on the right hand side of the image by a piece of striped awning. These were common in towns at this time and were used by the drivers of hansom cabs which operated like a taxi.
