Comments on: Doors Of Spitalfields https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/01/03/doors-of-spitalfields/ 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, 05 Jan 2015 12:44:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Jill https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/01/03/doors-of-spitalfields/#comment-734105 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 12:44:36 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=127390#comment-734105 Goodness there’s some ugly ones among the finely proportioned restored entrances. I might have to pop over to Princelet Street with my Polyfilla and sandpaper and sort that one out.

I have made a couple of visits to the area and am fascinated by its history, please keep updating this site and adding photos!! Its great!

I wonder where the grilled one in Leyden St leads to – perhaps the yard where the chickens were slaughtered, first by kosher rites, then halal. Hope nowhere more sinister…

I am always looking for one door that I’ll never forget.
Opposite Nana’s house at 23 Hanbury Street
was a brown arched double door way with

‘Christian Mission to the Jews’

above the doorway. The grand children’s bedroom
was at the front on the first floor. We woke up to the
sound of the Brewers’ Drays on the cobbles and the
door way opposite us.

Does anyone remember it or have a photo please?
