Market | Tim Webster

Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market
Tim Webster

When the stallholders have gone home at the end of the day of trade, you can shut your eyes, you look up the aisles and it could be 1923, it could be 1953, it could be 1973…

I have memories of people who are no longer here. It’s the people that make the market. It’s the people.’

This illustrated anthology of oral histories takes readers behind the counters to reveal intimate views of the market‚Äôs unique way of life. Drawn from more than a hundred and eighty interviews, Melbourne‚Äôs Queen Victoria Market explores the values and ideas within the city‚Äôs heart.
