Lucinda Rogers’ Cards
Contributing Artist Lucinda Rogers who did the beautiful drawings of the East End streets in my first book Spitalfields Life, has now produced this set of six greetings cards printed in London which you can order direct from her website Lucinda Rogers’ Shop and she will post them off to you direct from her favourite Post Office in the Hackney Rd.

Smithfield Market – The General Market has been under threat for many years, but in 2014 was given a stay of execution when the Secretary of State agreed that the proposed demolition to build an office complex was wrong. However, the buildings are still deteriorating while we wait for the owners to swallow their pride and let the alternative scheme go ahead.

The Grassy Bridge – This view down Kingsland Rd from the time when the railway was still out-of-use is now altered by all the buildings that have appeared since and would be rendered unrecognisable by the Bishopsgate Goodsyard proposals
Hackney Bus Garage – This was drawn at night in the bus depot at Hackney Central when Routemasters were still running

Love these illustrations – the view south from Kingsland Road especially, one that’s completely disappeared in my lifetime.
Beautiful!
Delightful mixes media, so detailed. Too much pulling down of our buildings soon London will be unrecognisable.
Leave London alone
Have always loved Lucinda’s work; she has an excellent eye, a great line, and a wonderful sense of composition, and depth and fine feel for colour. She is a very fine draughtsperson indeed.
I was proud to be asked to illustrate the Smithfield General Market front facade for SAVE Britain’s Heritage’s campaign to halt the original development plan. Smithfield Market and the lesser known rear part of it this historic site which includes the General Market is a fascinating area of London. I watch with interest to the future development of this site which should preserve its fine interior too.
