The pawnbroking trade has played a great part in the lives of very many people in the large cities and industrial districts of Great Britain. The number of pawnshops grew throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, reaching a peak in 1913/14.2 Considerable incomes were made in small shops on the pawnbroking part of the business as distinct from the retailing of new goods. In the past forty years the trade has considerably decreased in importance. The changes in economic climateand popular habit which have brought about a radical alteration in the sources of small credit used by the poor are not without interest for the economist.3
