The Petticott Lane Market located on Wentworth Street and Middlesex Street in the East End of London is one of the city's oldest markets. In 1608, roadside shops selling second-hand clothing began to operate. On the map of 1608, the name "Petticote Alley" was written. Beginning in 1882, many Jewish immigrants who fled the pogroms in Russia and Poland began to settle in the area. Poor immigrants, many of whom were tailor-made in Russia and Poland, integrated into the textile, clothing and clothing trade that operated in the region, and the market continued to thrive. The Jewish character of the market at that time was reflected in its days of operation - the market operated on Sundays but closed on Saturdays.
