Identification
Item: Market Jew Street in the 1950s
Description: The picture shows traffic going down the middle of the street, a van, Rover car, Austin 7 and a post office van. The name Market Jew is a corruption of the Cornish name for Marazion, Morghas Yow, meaning Thursday Market. Note the well dressed shoppers. Above the shops, the second house on the left was the home of Humphry Davy, the third was the shop of Gibson's photography with its view down to the harbour from the alleyway opposite. In 2012, none of the businesses pictured remain, but the buildings are relatively unchanged. Where the lady is crossing the road, there is a zebra crossing.
