Sandra Shevey, age 66, has been crusading for years in support of ancient street markets as transmitters of culture and heritage. Sandra began her company of London ancient markets walks in 1990 and currently runs 3-hour, 3-market walks around 15 traditional London street markets.

Sandra`s blogs in support of sustainable tourism (ancient markets) have appeared over the past decade on `Visit Britain`, `All in London`, `50Connect`, `Live in London`, and `QYPE`.
Her documentary `London`s Ancient Markets: Their Fight for Survival`, argues for sympathetic redevelopment and profiles ancient markets including Smithfield, Spitalfield, Covent Garden and Borough. The DVD of 30 mins is colour, digital. Trailer at http://sandrashevey.tripod.com
Sandra needs a publisher to partner a book about ancient street markets around the world. She intends comparing the global impact on Britain`s markets with that of Italy, Germany and France and also Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, India and China.
