  • 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.

  • Cuneo"Gatti's Variétés"
    Gatti, in its way, is not so much of London but of England, and of all the world. G EORGE R OBERT S IMS, Living London, 1900 À sa manière, Gatti n’appartient pas tant à Londres qu’à l’Angleterre, et au monde entier. Carlo Gatti (vers 1870) 1 NICOLAS Carlo Gatti converted his premises into confectioners’ shops and cafés. {…} Carlo’s establishments were an immediate hit. {…} Ices had previously been a luxury for the idle rich, and this was the first time in England that they became available to the poor. Again he enjoyed spectacular success. On a sunny Summer day, he insisted to a parliamentary board of enquiry a few years later, he sold thousands of ices to people who strolled across Hungerford Bridge. P ETER B ARBER A Curious Colony , Leicester Square and the Swiss Carlo Gatti avait transformé ses locaux en confiseries et en cafés. {…} Ces établissements ont eu un succès retentissant. {…} Jusque-là, les glaces avaient été un luxe réservé aux riches oisifs, c’était la première fois en Angleterre qu’elles étaient à la portée des pauvres. Ici aussi, le succès a été spectaculaire. Par un dimanche ensoleillé, racontait-il à une commission d’enquête parlementaire quelques années plus tard, il vendait des milliers de glaces aux passants qui traversaient le pont de Hungerford. — 3— I « O S IGNUR ! Ma à l’è un bagaï! » Il ne parle pas comme nous. C’était il y a près de cinquante ans, mais je revois cet instant comme si c’était hier. Je revois cette main, qui me semble énorme, s’avancer dans mon trou.

It also includes a large parade ground and underground parking facilities. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is proposing to dispose of this site in 2007/8 and relocate to Woolwich. This will therefore releases this 5.18 ha. site for disposal and re-development. Chelsea Barracks occupies a significant length of the City’s boundary with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBK&C). The site is bounded by Ebury Bridge Road, Pimlico Road, and with a long frontage onto Chelsea Bridge Road. The site is in a substantially residential area and abuts residential properties, many listed, on its north boundary.

The Pepys Estate was a monolithic concentration of public housing and it makes sense to break that up a bit and bring in a different mix of incomes and people with spending power.’ Pat Hayes, LB Lewisham, Director of Regeneration You have castrated communities. You have colonies of low income people, living in houses provided by the local authorities, and you have the higher income groups living in their own colonies. This segregation of the different income groups is a wholly evil thing, from a civilised point of view… We should try to introduce what was always the lovely feature of English and Welsh villages, where the doctor, the grocer, the butcher and the farm labourer all lived in the same street – the living tapestry of a mixed community.

SEYMOUR, MARTIN GORSKY and SHAKOOR HAJAT∗ Department of Social and Environmental Health Research, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, 15–17 Tavistock Place, London WC1H 9SH, UK abstract: This article examines public health spending, health outcomes and political complexion in London’s 28 Metropolitan Borough Councils (MBCs) in the inter-war period. It describes the place of the MBCs in the governance of the capital and demonstrates the variety of experience across the different boroughs in terms of wealth, politics and mortality. Searching for potential causes of differences in outcomes, it discovers some positive statistical relationships between the extent of Labour party presence on the councils, local spending and health outcomes. Our tentative conclusion is that local democratic processes could lead to distinctive and beneficial public health policies, albeit within the context of other local and structural determining factors. For scholars of public health, inter-war Britain provides an historical locus classicus of a decentralized system.1 In this period, only health insurance was subject to a national standard, following the Act of 1911 that introduced mandatory coverage for specified categories of worker. Otherwise, public health and related social welfare powers were assigned to different local bodies, according to the cumulative effect of legislation over several centuries.2 In the 1920s, such bodies included the Poor Law Unions, which provided medical and social care in hospitals and mixed institutions (originally ‘workhouses’).
