Comments on: The Return of Aubrey Silkoff https://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/07/28/the-return-of-aubrey-silkoff/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 04 Apr 2017 14:22:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Brian Yeaman https://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/07/28/the-return-of-aubrey-silkoff/#comment-1144501 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 14:22:45 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=10300#comment-1144501 Surfing through the internet I was pleasantly surprised to see your name. I was even more surprised to see a photograph of me with you and Alan Kanovitch. I believe it was taken by Mr. Titchenor during his photographic club.
It was very interesting to read your memories of our life in the late forties and early fifties, seems a world away now.
Best wishes, Brian Yeaman

He was my wife’s first cousin and she has rich and fond memories of him.

I started collecting Hackney in 1962 when I was in the 4th form of Hackney Downs (Grocers’) School.

I met Roma in 1964 when I went up to Sheffield University. And soon after I started learning of her large family which included Raph. He came to our wedding in 1968 and gave us a book for a wedding present. It remains (well read) on our book shelves.

Mary Booth the secretary of Stanley Crowe (probably THE best topographical and second-hand bookseller of London remembers Raphael Samuel as brilliant but rather semi-detached at times!!

Thanks for the memories.

If I remember rightly he had a 3 wheel bike

I write ‘Treasure Trails’ around London and aim to draw people’s attention to small details and the treasures all around us. Someone on Twitter told me to look out for the old graffiti around Rochelle School – and I was interested and came across this blog. Fantastic. I love the photo trick with the pillar box. Not so much has changed in kids’ humour after all 🙂

Stumbled on this in the midst of a random search of ex-colleagues on facebook. Hope you are well and that you will send a message. Happy days in Islington 🙂
