Comments on: Before & After in Fournier St https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/02/11/before-after-in-fournier-st/ 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, 02 Sep 2023 13:00:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Bill https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/02/11/before-after-in-fournier-st/#comment-1520332 Sat, 02 Sep 2023 13:00:24 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=23514#comment-1520332 What a house, staircase, window, setting, what a cat!

Horrible, how there are people whose distinction is so fine that they make a mark in the life of their neighborhoods who can no longer afford their neighborhoods. This is a global phenomenon. I googled Tamzin Griffin, and there is a lot about her, so I hope she continues to do well in the world.

That cat! What a puss!

Makes me sad to think of how many original buildings have been destroyed over the decade,s when it just goes to show what can be done with even the most hopeless-looking of cases!

I gasped when I saw just the first two pictures. Thank you again for this interesting post. Good also to see that the neighbours look to be making improvements too. Barbara

I’d like to think that the infinitesimal portion of my BBC License fee that made its way into John’s pay packet contributed in a minute way to the renovation of this house. Its beautiful and must have taken such courage to do.
