Camberwell Fresh Food Market 1930s
515 -521 Riversdale Road Camberwell
This site war originally a horse carriage factory and in the 1930s
became a produce market to service the outlying market gardens of
the area. In 1992 a major fire damaged most of the market and
stallholders operated from temporary premises while the market was
rebuilt. Another refurbishment in 2002 allowed for a fresh new look
and opened the rear wall to the car park offering easier access.
Traders include 4 delis, 2 fishmongers, 2 florists, 2 chicken
stores, 3 fruit and veg stalls, 2, butchers, 2 cafes, juice bar,
sushi bar, dried fruit and nuts, wine store, discount cosmetics and
shoe repair.
Many stall holders in this traditional style market are second
or third generation and all are family run businesses.
