S2E19 Markets: Will Cutteridge on History and Sustainability

As we all begin to look more closely at our own habits and how they impact the health of the planet, we’ve started reaching into the history books for answers. Markets, once a relic of the past, are growing rapidly in popularity because of the way they allow us to live more consciously. Will Cutteridge is taking that ethos one step further by making sustainability an active part of his brand new market. The Wapping Docklands Market is taking up residence on a site of significant historic importance to both Wapping and the surrounding East End. In this episode we wind back the clock and hear some of the most fascinating stories of East London’s past, we learn how stripping the guilt from sustainable living can make it exciting, and we find out how markets are far more than just an event; they’re an experience!
