IN holy well lane years of searching these areas in the late 1700s, and early
180os.every step of the way you have illuminated for me ,and the delight
is my own ,
London I adore ….so much I do not know about these people of mine .
I wonder if you could advise me on any old knowledgeable books I could purchase giving me an incite to Hackney and Shoreditch where they seem to have originated from many years ago.
I have lovely photos passed down to me of my g/ggrandfather Ward with family members all appear to be silk weavers
have know idea where their relatives were born , Ward seems to have been an English name ,and this profession is still with my family 1n the twenty century a strong link.
Many many thanks for these wonderful tales of the east London people …….
you have opened another life’s window and made me very happy.
I will await each new ones that arrive on your website. Thank you

Very, very amazing I think. I especially like the patina of the glazing on the pitchers and the simple designs that are still so elegant.
