  • Old Photos of Tower Hamlets
    Caught on camera! – Using film and Historical photos might be useful if you want to compare your study area with what it used to be like –Even photos from a few years ago can show photographs as secondary sources stark contrasts in terms of rebranding/ gentrification etc Excerpt from the ALCAB report 2014 (on which the A Level specifications are based) Human Geography: Changing places - Meaning and Representation Meaning and representation relates to how humans perceive, engage with and form attachments to the world. This might be the everyday meanings that humans attach to places bound up with a sense of identity and belonging. It also extends to ways that meanings of place might be created, such as through place making and marketing. Representations of places are important because of the way in which they shape peoples' actions and behaviours, and those of businesses, institutions and governments. Representations also provide a reference point for people's sense of identity, underpinning their attachments to place, particularly in times of change. Attention to meaning highlights the processes of representation through which places are depicted, variously by external agencies and by those who live in them. The meanings and identities ascribed to a place may also be related to its function, both social and economic, in the present and in the past. Places can have multiple meanings and identities, reflecting different perceptions and perspectives. Students should select one of the following topics through which to address the concepts of meaning and representation as applied to place: Place making and marketing, drawing on examples such as regional development agencies, tourist marketing, and property marketing materials.

  • 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.

  • Fournier St Spitalfields E1
    Fournier St Spitalfields E1 “ Number 27 Fournier Street is now once again what it was when built – one of the most architecturally important and attractive houses in Spitalfields.” Spitalfields: The history of a nation in a handful of streets, Random House, 2016 Dan Cruickshank Architecture & Art Historian, BBC Presenter Knight Frank are honoured to offer a rare family residence of architectural significance in the historic Spitalfields conservation area. Dating from the 1720s it is located in Fournier Street, the most prestigious street in the area and home to some of the best preserved early Georgian domestic town-houses in Britain, few of which ever come on the market. Originally built for a wealthy French Huguenot family, this impressive listed building covers 4,313 sqft (401m2) configured over five floors. It has been lovingly and carefully restored by the current owner, an art collector and connoisseur, to retain all its original features, including the 18th century panelled interiors, sash windows and fireplaces as well as an imposing George I staircase. “ There are about one hundred and thirty Georgian terrace houses in the historic heart of Spitalfields, centred around Nicholas Hawksmoor’s magnificent Baroque Christ Church, completed in 1729. Of these houses – all of which are precious and generally different in the plans, forms and details – a half dozen or so are particularly important and architecturally impressive. This is partly a result of their larger than usual size but also because of the richness of their interiors, the erudition and ambition of their design and execution, and the completeness of their preservation.
