Rathbone Market

Rathbone Market on a busy day in 1977.


The shops have now been demolished and the site cleared (2011) for the redevelopment of Canning Town.


The Supermarket is still there but since 1977 has change names a number of times, from Caters to Presto, then Kwik Save, then Somerfield, and it has just been revamped as a Co-op.
