'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.
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.

'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.

It’s all gone’: the women left bereft when Somaliland’s largest market burned down
Once a bustling place, Waheen is now a smouldering ruin and despite government promises stallholders say little is being done for them.
Halima Abdirahman Nur lost everything in the fire but considers herself one of the lucky ones as she has a house and land to fall back on.
Once a vibrant and noisy place, the market at Waheen was Somaliland’s largest. It had about 2,000 shops and stalls, selling fresh fruit and meat alongside tailors’ and tech support stores. When fire raged through the city of Hargeisa earlier this month, at least 28 people were injured and hundreds of businesses were destroyed.
