This is a view of the Poultry Market, sketched today from the South side. You see East Poultry Avenue going off to the right.
This is a working Meat Market. It was completed in 1963 to replace the original 1880s market which had been destroyed by fire in 1958. The “A London Inheritance” site has a moving description of the fire in their article about Smithfield.
There is an amazing dome across this part of the market. I tried to find a place where I could see it. It just shows at the top of the buildings in my drawing. It spans the whole of the market area, and is supported only at its edges. Here is a picture taken from articles about redevelopment of the site.
The 1963 design is by TP Bennett and Son.
This whole structure will be refurbished to make the new Museum of London.
The drawing took about and hour and a half. The colours are Phthalo Turquoise, Fired Red Ochre, and Perylene Maroon, with some Mars Yellow for the dome, and Pyrrol Orange for the traffic signs.
East Poultry Avenue. The sign in my drawing says “DEAD SLOW” 
Work in progress.
Here are other drawings I have done in the area:
