Comments on: Brick Lane Market 5 https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/04/03/brick-lane-market-5/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 30 Jul 2018 22:41:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Rosh https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/04/03/brick-lane-market-5/#comment-1217855 Mon, 30 Jul 2018 22:41:56 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=27853#comment-1217855 Hello CarromPaul,

Just wondering if there’s anywhere that carrom is still being played in London?

Thanks,
Rosh

I went to Brick Land market today and asked around looking for your carrom stall. A friendly man playing chess with passers by said you had left a few years ago because of eye problems. I was disappointing to hear this, I hope you are doing well.

Do you have any ideas where carrom can still be played in London?

Thanks,
Edward

I remember well. I was so happy that kids can learn early and maybe play interschool games and become great Carrom Players.

Great to see someone so passionate about Carrom. I am a recent convert, but met with Alkesh and Manessh from Synco Carrom, and now sell Synco Carrom here in the UK. I hope you are still there in Spitalfields. If so, I will come and see you there.

Take care.

My name is shofique Miah i dont know if you can recall me playing Abdul Khan in carrom final back in 2002 and got a runner up prize of £200 and a certificate, its nice to see you live and kicking in Brick Lane with your carrom boards. At present i’am working in indian restaurant and recently been checking carrom on line after work, i have lost my touch of play as i have not been playing for a very long time, but for some reason my mind and fingers are aching for a game of carrom. i’am planning to visit you at Brick Lane for a game and to see you and say hello. Are you still organising any competitions?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Take care and see you soon

I remember buying lots of boards from you well over ten years ago when you were trading at Spitalfield market. It was to start a Carrom club at Bangabandhu Primary school.

I had no idea then of the meaning of the four corners and the coming together of all religions, but it’s a wondeful symbol which I heartily support.

When I saw you’d been moved from the covered market to the street I felt a bit sad as people playing are a bit more challenged by the elements. But you don’t appear phased by it.

I’ll say hello next time I pass by…. which might well be later this afternoon

amicalement
