Dick Whittington’s influence at Leadenhall 💬 ⁣ ⁣ In 1408 the former Lord Mayor Richard ‘Dick’ Whittington acquired the lease of the Leaden Hall building, and then the site in 1411, gifting it to the City; City of London Corporation have been running it ever since. ⁣ ⁣ 🐟 🍗 It quickly became one of the best places in London to buy eggs, meat, game, grain, poultry and fish. The meat and fish market occupied a series of courts behind the grand lead-roofed mansion of Leadenhall Market on Leadenhall Street. ⁣ ⁣ Did you know? This summer, Leadenhall Market has returned to its roots as a trading ground, but instead of selling meat, poultry and game, stalls have been filled with furniture, fashion and crafts across selected weekends. ⁣ ⁣ Find out more 👉 bit.ly/3UC63gF 📸 Leadenhall Market by Augustus Charles Pugin & Thomas Rowlandson, image © London Metropolitan Archives (City of London).  ⁣ #LeadenhallMarket #CityofLondon #LondonHistory
