Sinossi
Excerpt from Fish Transport and Fish Markets
You will probably ask me to express some opinion whether, under these circumstances, an effort Should be made to improve Billingsgate, or whether, on the contrary, the market should be at once swept away or moved to some other spot in the metropolis. Now on that point I am not prepared to state an opinion. It does not seem to me to be one for me to pronounce a positive opinion about. The question is one mainly of expense, and must be decided by the Corporation of the City of London, who are the owners of the market. If the Corporation are prepared to incur the great expense which is involved in doubling the area of this market as it stands, and in widening Thames Street from end to end, then I should say by all means leave Billingsgate where it is, for the very sufficient reason that trade is a conservative thing, and it is very difficult to move a trade from any spot where you find it flourishing. But if, on the contrary, the Corporation of the City of London are not prepared to incur this expendi ture, then the sooner they make up their minds to move the market to some suitable place on the river-side the better it will be for the fish trade, and the better for the public also. These are really all the remarks I have to make on this portion of the subject.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the question of fish transport and fish markets, with the intent of facilitating or improving the supply of fish to the metropolis. The author, a former inspector of salmon fisheries and governor of the Isle of Man, brings his deep knowledge and experience to bear on the subject. The work considers the internal trade in fish in Britain, proposing that railway charges are excessive and could be reduced by exposing railway companies to healthy competition. The book also advocates for the concentration of wholesale markets in one primary location for the convenience of buyers and sellers. In exploring the relationship between sheries and patronage, the author argues that while state patronage can hinder the flourishing of sheries, well-meaning individuals can make a positive impact through providing loans and other forms of support. This book offers valuable insights for those interested in the development of fisheries and the improvement of fish markets, providing a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities in these areas.
