Postal shop listing for The New Cut 1840.

1840: the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert happens in this year, also the Penny Post and the world's first postage stamp, the Penny Black is brought in. Bearing in mind it was only twenty years or so beforehand that there was a windmill standing just off the New Cut (and the name for the famous pub in the area). The thing that strikes me about this street is the sheer number of dealers of furniture of various sorts. There must have been a market for them all but I'm curious as to why there are so many of them in one place for?
