Wonderful story, and lovely post.
I lived in the “buildings” from birth to 1949 when I was married.
I remember shopping at Raymond’s for green grocery.

This is a wonderful story. I am an American, living in the midwest in a small village. We will be visiting London (and Dorset) in July and plan on spending some time in the Shoreditch/East End area. The stories on this blog make this part of London come to life in the most vivid and heartfelt way. We look forward even more to our visit.

Fabulous. You probably know Emmanuel Litvinoff’s memoir of life in the East End during the 1930s, ‘Journey Through a Small Planet’. If not, it was in stock in the bookshop at Whitechapel Art Gallery, and may be still.

This is a most delicately drawn and moving portrait of a remarkable, elegantly dressed and charismatic lady.
