This selection includes, market traders at Commercial Road, after moving from Charlotte Street, Palmerston Road, Southsea, Gunwharf Quays and Castle Road.
Some of them have been mainstays of the city’s market scene for years, or even decades, and many of us will remember visiting the stalls as a child.
Hopefully these photos, taken over the years, will bring back some great memories!
The majority of images are available to purchase should you wish to do so on our Photosales section, or you can call 0330 403 0033 or email [email protected].
