'Our own little congregation': the people of London's soon-to-close Smithfield market.
Poultry market is closing this month and all meat traders will be gone in five years as historic site becomes new home of Museum of London.
At midnight while Londoners sleep, work is just beginning for the traders at Smithfield market. As the trading day gets under way, punctuated by the crashing of pallets, the screeching of vans and the smell of raw meat, the complex is an island of hustle and bustle in an otherwise still city centre.
But the clearout has begun. On 31 August its poultry market will pull down the shutters for the last time, while its salespeople are living on borrowed time - in just five years the last of them will leave for good.
The site has been home to generations of traders dating back more than 800 years, although the buildings recognisable today are mainly from the Victorian era. But by 2028, Smithfield’s remaining 28 businesses will all have been relocated - along with Billingsgate fish market and, eventually, Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market - to a new purpose-built facility at Dagenham Dock in the capital’s eastern outskirts.

'Our own little congregation': the people of London's soon-to-close Smithfield market.
Poultry market is closing this month and all meat traders will be gone in five years as historic site becomes new home of Museum of London.
At midnight while Londoners sleep, work is just beginning for the traders at Smithfield market. As the trading day gets under way, punctuated by the crashing of pallets, the screeching of vans and the smell of raw meat, the complex is an island of hustle and bustle in an otherwise still city centre.
But the clearout has begun. On 31 August its poultry market will pull down the shutters for the last time, while its salespeople are living on borrowed time - in just five years the last of them will leave for good.
The site has been home to generations of traders dating back more than 800 years, although the buildings recognisable today are mainly from the Victorian era. But by 2028, Smithfield’s remaining 28 businesses will all have been relocated - along with Billingsgate fish market and, eventually, Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market - to a new purpose-built facility at Dagenham Dock in the capital’s eastern outskirts.

The legendary Farringdon nightclub faces the market, with its punters keeping similar hours to the traders.

Poultry market is closing this month and all meat traders will be gone in five years as historic site becomes new home of Museum of London.
At midnight while Londoners sleep, work is just beginning for the traders at Smithfield market. As the trading day gets under way, punctuated by the crashing of pallets, the screeching of vans and the smell of raw meat, the complex is an island of hustle and bustle in an otherwise still city centre.
But the clearout has begun. On 31 August its poultry market will pull down the shutters for the last time, while its salespeople are living on borrowed time - in just five years the last of them will leave for good.
The site has been home to generations of traders dating back more than 800 years, although the buildings recognisable today are mainly from the Victorian era. But by 2028, SmithfieldÕs remaining 28 businesses will all have been relocated - along with Billingsgate fish market and, eventually, Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market - to a new purpose-built facility at Dagenham Dock in the capitalÕs eastern outskirts.
It's not just forklift spot checks and chasing down cyclists that will live long in Gossedge's memory once the market is gone. "I had someone naked walk up to me and ask me if I knew where their clothes were. It turns out they'd just got drunk at Fabric," she laughs. The legendary Farringdon nightclub faces the market, with its punters keeping similar hours to the traders.

James Oatley, of BJ Meats, has been working at the market since he was a boy, more than 50 years ago. He now runs his specialist lamb (Òand a bit of porkÓ) business with his son.
"We fought it for so many years and it's got to the point where they really don't want us here, unfortunately," he says. "My son will have to go there [Dagenham Dock] because he's young. But it will be sad, because it's just a great building to be in. I was here when the sawdust was on the floor, it was wonderful and the banter was amazing."

But the clearout has begun. On 31 August its poultry market will pull down the shutters for the last time, while its salespeople are living on borrowed time - in just five years the last of them will leave for good.
Adrian Stiles - better known to his colleagues as Nobby - works for one of them, James Burden Ltd.
"This poultry shop is a very busy business, so we're going to try to move it into our other four shops, share it around a bit," the 56-year-old says.
The site has been home to generations of traders dating back more than 800 years, although the buildings recognisable today are mainly from the Victorian era. But by 2028, Smithfield’s remaining 28 businesses will all have been relocated - along with Billingsgate fish market and, eventually, Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market - to a new purpose-built facility at Dagenham Dock in the capital’s eastern outskirts.
