Comments on: First Thursday, Raven Row https://spitalfieldslife.com/2009/09/03/first-thursday/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 23 Nov 2013 16:54:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: armier https://spitalfieldslife.com/2009/09/03/first-thursday/#comment-213556 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 16:54:19 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.wordpress.com/?p=117#comment-213556 I’m away fom the Spit these days but my first studio was in Brune Street and I’d walk past this most days. I was and am still very fond of it.

I tried to persuade one of my students to seek it out for inspiration. Alas, kids today…

Gather it’s one the very oldest/rarest surviving shop fronts in London, indeed Europe even… I gather.

It was painted a fine and sturdy dark green back then (’82-83-84) which I might prefer. Tho’ conversely, I recall little sunlight made it into Raven Row so let’s cheer on the beige.
