  • 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.

  • The Manufacture of Matches
    Life and Work: Poverty, Wealth and History in the East End of London Part One: The East End in Time and Space Time: The Historical Life of the East End Resource Spitalfields By Sydney Maddocks From: The Copartnership Herald, December 1931-January 1932 With the exception of its inhabitants and of those who have business there to attract them, Spitalfields is but little known even to a large number of the population of East London, whose acquaintance with it is often confined only to an occasional journey in a tramcar along Commercial Street, the corridor leading from Whitechapel to Shoreditch. By them the choice of the site of the church, as well as that of the market, may very easily be attributed to the importance of the thoroughfare in which they are both now found; but such is not the case, for until the middle of the last century Commercial Street had not been cut through the district. The principal approach to Spitalfields had previously been from Norton Folgate by Union Street, which, after a widening, was referred to in 1808 as "a very excellent modern improvement." About fifty years ago this street was renamed Brushfield Street, after Mr. Richard Brushfield, a gentleman prominent in the conduct of local affairs. The neighbourhood has undergone many changes during the last few years owing to rebuilding and to the extension of the market, but the modern aspect of the locality is not, on this occasion, under review, for the references which here follow concern its past, and relate to the manner of its early constitution.

  • The Jubilee Greenway. Section 3 of 10
    Transport for London. The Jubilee Greenway. Section 3 of 10. Camden Lock to Victoria Park. Section start: Camden Lock. Nearest stations Camden Town , Camden Road . to start: Section finish: Victoria Park - Canal Gate. Nearest stations Cambridge Heath or Bethnal Green . to finish: Section distance: 4.7 miles (7.6 kilometres). Introduction. Section three is a satisfying stretch along the Regent's Canal, from famous Camden Lock to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. This section highlights the contrasts of a living, growing capital, meandering between old districts and new developments, each with their own unique style and atmosphere. This section of the route takes the walker through Camden Town, Islington, Hackney and Bethnal Green, leading finally to Victoria Park. This provides a fascinating look at how London is changing; passing many new developments and constructions, while savouring the atmosphere of the canal. In some ways the towpath side has changed little, whereas the south side of the canal has developed a great deal. For walkers interested in the history of London's canals you will pass near the London Canal Museum on this section. Look out for the Jubilee Greenway discs in the pavement as you go round. Continues below Directions. To start section three from section two, continue along the towpath past Camden Lock Market. Cyclists have to dismount through the market area here. Coming from Camden Town station, turn left, cross over the road and the bridge to find the towpath on the north side of the canal. Once on the canal towpath, pass rows of Vespa Scooters used as cafe seats and a large bronze lion, as well as many food stalls.

  • Poverty, Wealth and History in the East End of London : Life and Work
    Poverty, Wealth and History in the East End of London : Life and Work Part 3 : Labour and Toil Assessment 2 : The Standard of Living Author : Paul Johnson How can we assess the standard of living in the East End and what kind of comparisons can we make? Using a variety of sources creatively and knowing what sources you need to solve a problem are among the essential skills of a historian. We have provided you with: 1. A table listing the average wage and expenditures in the 1880s and 2000 2. An article tha t appeared in The Builder periodical in 1871 about the dwellings of the poor in Bethnal Green 3. Images from the Illustrated London News detailing life in the East End of London Find out how well equipped you are to assess the standard of living in the East End of London by answering the questions below and comparing your answers to Paul's thoughts. “Homes in the East of London”, The Builder, 28th January 1871 The average income and expenditure in the 1880s and 2000. P. Wilser, The Pound in Your Pocket, 1870-1970, Peter Wilser 1970; J. McGinty and T. Williams (Eds.) National Statistics. Regional Trends, 2001 ed., London: The Stationery Office We traversed several alleys and courts, dirty and dismal, the denizens of which told their own tales in their pallid faces and tattered raiment. Here and about, the pavement of the streets, the flagging of the paths, the condition of the side channels, and the general state of the entries and back-yards are unendurably bad.
