View of the interior of a High Street Market shed near Second Street. Depicts mainly female peddlers selling their meats and produce from several stalls. Shoppers, including an African American man and a boy with a basket, inspect and purchase the market goods which are displayed on wooden counters, in baskets, and on meat hooks. The High Street Market, established in the late 17th century, became housed in a permanent structure around 1709 when a market shed was built from the Town Hall to Third Street.
