What an inspiring article. I live in Edinburgh and don’t get to London so often but this makes me want to jump on a train now! Would be great if there was a map (maybe on the Guild website?) locating all of these wonderful places/people.

Well done – Here in Tetbury,Glos – plans are afoot to form “Traders Guild”in 2013. High time local traders took a hand in their own destiny.

I hope that you are already in talks with your publisher to produce a book of these photos with captions – we need a more permanent production. Royalties to the Guild?

Congratulations to everyone involved, particularly you, gentle author, for your major part in this significant enterprise. Hope it goes from strength to strength and that many small East End businesses will get the support they need. An excellent development.
