A very Victorian looking street
Spitalfields has long been associated with the cloth trade. Several wholesalers and small businesses still operate in the area.
Looking up Fournier Street from the notorious Ten Bells Pub
These particular streets are some of the finest examples of their type… Built for aristocratic Huguenot refugees from France in 18th Century
I love this door… Like Platform 9 3/4 in Harry Potter
Not do long ago, this would have been one of the better looking properties in the area.
Looking up to the Trumans Brewery
The famous Brick Lane – a mile of the finest Indian restaurants in the world.
Brick Lane mosque… At night the minaret glows from neon lights. 100 years sho it was a synagogue, 200 years ago a Huguenot church.
Fournier Street was named after George Fournier. Once the most likely home of Jack The Ripper,for the many decades it has been the hope to the internationally renowned collaborative art duo of Gilbert and George.

I like the colors in your 6th picture down. The pinks are multi-colored…and antiqued.

I really like that house too, I always keep a look out for it to make sure it’s not being renovated.

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Those old buildings and streets would have some secrets to tell if they could speak.

Gilbert and George have just had a major retrospective exhibition in Tasmania – and I was lucky enough to catch it in its final days. Amazing stuff. Love your images!

They came out to Australia for the launch, in November and they look pretty sprightly still, in the photos!

Apparently they live at the house in my photo with the door number ‘Eleven and a half’. Apparently from time to time people just go and knock on it to say hello. Apparently they have sadly had their door attacked too due to a certain section of a certain group disapproving of their lifestyle even though having lived there for over 50 years, they can likely claim to have been their first.
