Summary

Description
English: Luggage Shop near Seven Sisters Station Note the barrels outside -- someone will buy them, pack them full of items that are cheaper here than in the Caribbean and ship them off to relatives or friends over there. In the Caribbean most consumer goods have to be imported and are much more expensive in real terms than they are here. You will sometimes hear the expression "sending a barrel over" and this is what's meant. The emptied barrel then sits outside the recipient's house. But as you can see, it starts the journey outside shops like these. This unit was once part of a large department store called "Ward's", which is why the area is still called "Ward's Corner". There was a cinema the other side of Seven Sisters Road called the "Corner Cinema".
