London's fruit, flower and vegetable market until 1974, where Holmes and Watson track the goose to a poultry salesman's stall.

One of the largest stalls bore the name of Breckinridge upon it, and the proprietor a horsey-looking man, with a sharp face and trim side-whiskers was helping a boy to put up the shutters.
