    Brick Lane Born: Exhibition and Events

    November 2016 Brick Lane Born: Exhibition and Events Gilbert & George contemplate one of Raju's photographs at the launch of Brick Lane Born Our main exhibition, on show until 7 January is Brick Lane Born, a display of over forty photographs taken in the mid-1980s by Raju Vaidyanathan depicting his neighbourhood and friends in and around Brick Lane. After a feature on ITV London News, the exhibition launched with a bang on 20 October with over a hundred visitors including Gilbert and George (pictured), a lively discussion and an amazing joyous atmosphere. Comments in the Visitors Book so far read: "Fascinating and absorbing. Raju's words and pictures are brilliant. Thank you." "Excellent photos and a story very similar to that of Vivian Maier." "What a fascinating and very special exhibition. The sharpness and range of photographs is impressive and I am delighted to be here." "What a brilliant historical testimony to a Brick Lane no longer in existence. Beautiful." "Just caught this on TV last night and spent over an hour going through it. Excellent B&W photos." One launch attendee unexpectedly found a portrait of her late father in the exhibition and was overjoyed, not least because her children have never seen a photo of their grandfather during that period. Raju's photos and the wonderful stories told in his captions continue to evoke strong memories for people who remember the Spitalfields of the 1980s, as well as fascination in those who weren't there. An additional event has been added to the programme- see below for details.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) dr section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages, This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
  • Joseph Fels of 'Philadelphia and London

    Joseph Fels of 'Philadelphia and London

    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Joseph Fels of 'Philadelphia and London OSEPH FELS, maker of Fels-Naptha soap, told a select gathering of Chicago's business and civic leaders in 1910: "We cannot get J rich under present conditions without robbing somebody. I have done it, you are doing it, and I am still doing it. But I propose to spend the damnable money to wipe out the system by which I made it. If any of you have the courage to do the same thing, for God's sake let us cross hands"'1 Fels had already warned his listeners that "the mere making of money" must never become a businessman's most vital concern. Now, however, he was attacking the very founda- tions of the economic order upon which depended the material well- being of all who were present, and appealing for their help in the bargain. That an industrialist of his prominence should have behaved so strangely was perhaps remarkable enough, but that his audience undoubtedly expected him to do so was stranger still. His reputation had obviously preceded him to Chicago. It was well known that businessman and reformer had been combined in Joseph Fels to an astonishing degree.

Dudden and Rachel Mclntyre Dach for editorial assistance. 1 Speech of Joseph Fels before the City Club of Chicago, I11., Mar. 9, 1910, City Club Bulletin, III (Mar. 16, 1910), 244. 143 144 ARTHUR P.

  • Arthur Henderson As Labour Leader

    Arthur Henderson As Labour Leader

    R. I. McKIBBIN ARTHUR HENDERSON AS LABOUR LEADER Arthur Henderson1 was the only member of the industrial working classes to lead a British political party.2 He was the only trade unionist to lead the Labour Party, and, as well, one of only two active Christians to do so. In the history of the Labour Party's first thirty years he seems to have a centrality shared by no other man.3 But what constitutes his centrality is a genuine problem, and both his contemporaries and his colleagues were aware of it. J. R. Clynes once wrote: "I would not class Mr. Henderson as a type, but as one quite unlike any other of his colleagues."4 In this article I would like to test this judgement, to examine both Henderson's "typicality" as a historical figure in the labour movement, and the significance of his career as a labour leader. I Henderson's personality and habits tell us something about the psycho- 1 Arthur Henderson (1863-1935), born in Glasgow, but moved to Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1871. Apprenticed as an iron-moulder. Joined the Friendly Society of Ironfounders in 1883, and eventually became a union organizer. 1893 circulation manager of the New- castle Evening News. 1896 secretary-agent to Sir Joseph Pease, Liberal MP for Barnard Castle (Durham). Elected to both Durham and Darlington Councils as a Liberal. Mayor of Darlington, 1903. MP for Barnard Castle (Labour), 1903-18, and MP for Widnes, Newcastle East, Burnley and Clay Cross, 1918-35.

    Labour's Everyman, –

    ch1-2.008 7/8/02 2:44 PM Page 1 Labour’s Everyman, – On April a group of figures appeared on the Northumberland horizon walk- ing slowly in the brilliant sunlight along Hadrian’s Wall. Included in the party were officials of local antiquarian societies, civil servants, businessmen, and newspaper reporters. In the midst was the Cabinet minister from Whitehall: a large-framed seventy-year-old man, with white hair and ruddy face adorned by mutton-chop whiskers, attired in an old alpaca suit and bowler hat. Instantly recognized wherever he went, he possessed an unmistakable ringing voice, in which he greeted everyone as his friend. At Housesteads, the official retinue stopped to concentrate on the silent stones. Characteristically, the minister conversed warmly with the eighty-one-year-old keeper of the fortification, Thomas Thompson, before pondering the moral and political dilemma revealed by the threat of extensive quarrying to the Roman Wall. As the Cabinet minister in the second Labour government responsible for national monuments and historic sites, George Lansbury was steeped in British his- tory. However, he recognized that , tons of quarried stone provided the pos- sibility of permanent employment in a region blighted by the inter-war Depression, but only at the expense of one of the most striking and beautiful stretches of the ancient monument.1 In Britain today, George Lansbury is probably remembered best, not as the First Commissioner of Works, but as the humanitarian and Christian pacifist leader of the Labour Party, apparently out of touch with the realpolitik of European affairs in the s.
