Comments on: A Walk With Rodney Archer https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/05/09/a-walk-with-rodney-archer/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 21 Aug 2019 13:08:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Richard https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/05/09/a-walk-with-rodney-archer/#comment-1305884 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 13:08:25 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=61798#comment-1305884 Thanks for this. Mr Lustig was my grandfather. I spent hours with him at his workshop at 10 Fournier Street during my school holidays. What an experience that was. I was afraid to touch anything for fear that the place would collapse. He was very friendly with Solly at Gale Furs. Little did I know then that when I got married I’d be marrying Solly’s wife’s cousin.

Just saw 31 Founier in “Great Houses of London”. I remember visiting Phyllis there shortly just after she bought it. There were renos in progress-kitchen I recall-and a bathroom had replaced the back yard privy.
Glad to see your face smiling out from this interesting site. You look well and happy. How is sister Elaine?
I am retired from law practice but teach interantional business law (after 46 years of doing it) to keep the aged brain from turning wholly to mush. Spouse Andrea Geddes Poole is a history prof. specializing in English 19th C. social/cultural. Her first book was on London’s four public art galleries and the handover of “stewardship” by the aristocrats. Second is about the two women who founded the Old Vic as a “cultural coffee house”, and Morley College for the working poor of the “wrong side” (then) of the river. Three daughters, 3 gandkids.
Must visit next time in London. Often promised myself but never properly organized myself to do so when there.
My email is mrobinson@fasken.com. Address 87 Tranmer Ave, Toronto M5P 1E3 .
Best regards, Michael Robinson

I think the tree may be ash.

Also, I’m not sure about that being a silver birch, which has papery white bark. But without being able to see the canopy, I’m not sure what it is.
