R. W. James, born 9 January 1891, was a Londoner born and bred. His father, William George Joseph James, was an umbrella maker and shopkeeper in Praed Street, Paddington, whose forbears had lived in Paddington or Marylebone for over a hundred years. ‘My family lived in the house over my father’s shop, and the circumstances of my boyhood were definitely urban, mitigated however by the nearness of Kensington Gardens in which much of my childhood was spent. The family business, although neither large nor very prosperous, was enough for our needs and my childhood was a very happy one. My father’s family were Baptists, and I was brought up in the non-conformist tradition, although not in the strictest one.’ In 1896, at the age of five, James went to the Infant School attached to St Michael’s Church, Paddington, and to the boys’ school two years later. In 1903 he started his secondary education at the Polytechnic Day School, Regent Street. He showed mathematical ability and it was suggested that he should take up actuarial work; with this possibility in view he passed in 1907 the first examination for the Institute of Actuaries as well as the matriculation examination for London University. But he also obtained a London County Council Scholarship which gave him two post-matriculation years at the City of London School. In December 1908 he won an Entrance Scholarship of £80 a year for Natural Science at St John’s College, Cambridge, and the next year, on leaving school, the Beaufoy Mathematical Scholarship tenable at Cambridge. He entered St John’s College as a Foundation Scholar in October 1909.

Robert Alexander Frazer was born in the City of London on 5 February 1891. His father, Robert Watson Frazer, LL.B., had retired from the Madras Civil Service and had become Principal Librarian and Secretary of the London Institution at Finsbury Circus, whence in the following two decades he produced four books on India and its history, of which perhaps the best known was one published in the ‘Story of the Nations’ Series by Fisher Unwin, Ltd., in 1895. The family lived at the Institution and Robert was born there. Young Frazer proceeded in due course to the City of London School where he did remarkably well and won several scholarships and medals. By the time he was eighteen years of age, the City Corporation, desiring to commemorate the distinction just gained by Mr H. H. Asquith, a former pupil of the school, on his appointment as Prime Minister, founded the Asquith Scholarship of £100 per annum tenable for four years at Cambridge. It thus came about that at the school prize-giving in 1909 the Lord Mayor announced that the new Asquith Scholarship had been conferred on Frazer, who was so enabled to proceed to Pembroke College, Cambridge, that autumn. Frazer, in the course of his subsequent career, had two other formal links with London. In 1911 he was admitted to the Freedom of London in the Mayoralty of Sir Thomas Crosby, having been an Apprentice of T. M. Wood, ‘Citizen and Gardener of London’; and in 1930 he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science by the University of London. The former may or may not have been a pointer to his subsequent ability as a gardener in private life; the latter was certainly a well-deserved recognition of his scientific work at the time.

Parentage and Ancestry Frederick Gowland Hopkins was born in 1861 at Eastbourne, whither hisparents had moved on their marriage. His paternal great-grandfather was a Captain Hopkins, R.N., who, according to family tradition, commanded a ship at Trafalgar. The Captain is said to have had a large family, and some of the sons, including our subject’s grandfather, went into business in London. Two other members of this family deserve special mention. One of them, Manley Hopkins, became Consul-General for the Hawaiian Islands to Great Britain, and his eldest son was Gerard Manley Hopkins, the Jesuit poet. According to the biographer of the latter, G. F. Lahey, S.J., the father was also a man of high intellectual endowment and something of a poet. Hopkins could remember that, as a boy, he was taken by his mother to visit the family of Manley Hopkins, uncle of his late father, and that the son Gerard, the poet, was present, though he did not recall him very clearly from that memory of childhood. The other member of the Captain’s family to be mentioned, as having through her descendants made contact with our subject’s life and career, is Louisa, who married Johann Leopold Abel, a German by birth. Among the offspring of this marriage was Frederick Augustus Abel (later Sir Frederick Abel, Bt.), who became eminent as a chemist and, in particular, an authority on the chemistry of explosives. He did important work for the British Government in that field, was elected F.R.S. in 1860 and was a close friend of his cousin, our Hopkins’s father. A younger brother of Frederick Abel became, through a daughter, the grandfather of Carl Frederick Abel Pantin, F.R.S., who was to be a colleague of Hopkins, as a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. To return to the direct line of ancestry, Hopkins’s paternal grandfather settled in Bishopsgate Street* in the City of London, as a bookseller and an occasional publisher, and there his son, Hopkins’s father, was born and educated, entered business and continued to live until he married.

ABSTRACTThis article analyses London's street markets in the years between 1850 and 1939. It shows how this was a period of significant growth for street markets, with both steeply increasing numbers of markets and a steady increase in the number of stalls overall. These markets were informal and unauthorized for much of the period under discussion; the administrative/local government context was complex, and competing authorities (the City of London, London County Council, metropolitan boroughs and national government) hesitated in regulating the organic growth of street market trading, while also recognizing the contribution it made to bringing cheap food and commodities to the population of London. It will be argued that the street market, far from being merely the survival of a primitive form of retail, flourished in response to modernity in London. It should be analysed alongside other developing forms of retail, and considered for its contribution to the culture and material culture of the city.
