Eggs, marrows and chutney: England's honesty boxes - in pictures
A long-term project by photographer Jill Mead, who keeps change in an empty water bottle in the glove compartment of her car in case she sees an honesty box. She says: 'I love everything about honesty boxes. It's not simply the produce, which you know will be excellent. It's the aesthetic, the varied locations; both remote and high street, the spelling mistakes, the eccentric structures, often raising money for different causes - and obviously the sheer trust involved in the whole enterprise'

The egg shop honesty box in Newport, Essex. I didn't have enough change and was kindly told: 'Just bring it back another time'. In the spirit of being honest myself, I do wish there were more cake and biscuit-stocked honesty boxes though. My mum's would have needed a bouncer

'Our own little congregation': the people of London's soon-to-close Smithfield market.
Poultry market is closing this month and all meat traders will be gone in five years as historic site becomes new home of Museum of London.
At midnight while Londoners sleep, work is just beginning for the traders at Smithfield market. As the trading day gets under way, punctuated by the crashing of pallets, the screeching of vans and the smell of raw meat, the complex is an island of hustle and bustle in an otherwise still city centre.
But the clearout has begun. On 31 August its poultry market will pull down the shutters for the last time, while its salespeople are living on borrowed time - in just five years the last of them will leave for good.
The site has been home to generations of traders dating back more than 800 years, although the buildings recognisable today are mainly from the Victorian era. But by 2028, Smithfield’s remaining 28 businesses will all have been relocated - along with Billingsgate fish market and, eventually, Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market - to a new purpose-built facility at Dagenham Dock in the capital’s eastern outskirts.

'Our own little congregation': the people of London's soon-to-close Smithfield market.
Poultry market is closing this month and all meat traders will be gone in five years as historic site becomes new home of Museum of London.
At midnight while Londoners sleep, work is just beginning for the traders at Smithfield market. As the trading day gets under way, punctuated by the crashing of pallets, the screeching of vans and the smell of raw meat, the complex is an island of hustle and bustle in an otherwise still city centre.
But the clearout has begun. On 31 August its poultry market will pull down the shutters for the last time, while its salespeople are living on borrowed time - in just five years the last of them will leave for good.
The site has been home to generations of traders dating back more than 800 years, although the buildings recognisable today are mainly from the Victorian era. But by 2028, SmithfieldÕs remaining 28 businesses will all have been relocated - along with Billingsgate fish market and, eventually, Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market - to a new purpose-built facility at Dagenham Dock in the capitalÕs eastern outskirts.
It's not just forklift spot checks and chasing down cyclists that will live long in Gossedge's memory once the market is gone. "I had someone naked walk up to me and ask me if I knew where their clothes were. It turns out they'd just got drunk at Fabric," she laughs. The legendary Farringdon nightclub faces the market, with its punters keeping similar hours to the traders.
