monday market

Monday Market is a photographic record of a traditional weekly market in the historic town of Aylsham, in north Norfolk.

The book is a compilation of some 150 black and white as well as colour photographs taken by Norfolk-born artist Ben Elwes, between 1990 and 2010. It includes passages of text by the local author Elspeth Barker as well as the retired Keys auctioneer Martyn Fox MBE.

“I followed Keys Monday market between 1990–2010, observing the patterns of the auction day over time, using my camera to trace the repetitions and the alterations each visit brought. It was this relationship between continuity and the passage of time that interested me, particularly as reflected through the people. And in doing so I inadvertently caught the market as it changed.”
