Comments on: Ebbe Sadolin’s London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/02/27/ebbe-sadolins-london/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 10 Jan 2017 20:14:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: martin https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/02/27/ebbe-sadolins-london/#comment-863027 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 02:24:02 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=130892#comment-863027 Stunning draughtsmanship. Picks up all the minutiae of London life post war like the bomb sites in an Ealing comedy.

They are such a pleasure to look at, and an inspiration to take up my own pencil and try to do some urban drawing. Thank you.

There are stocks inside the porch of St. Leonard’s Church Shoreditch which could be the ones – perhaps they were outside before. What is the lady on Tower Green doing I wonder – taking a picture of the gent? And I like the detritus of Billingsgate fishmarket in the drawing of the Tower – guess it was still right nearby then.

I wish I could buy prints of them. They bring back so many memories and at the same time they are so fresh and vibrant!

But where are the Shoreditch stocks now? Think how useful they would be to put developers in!

Very evocative sketches which bring back memories of those post war times, and once again bring to life places where my ancestors lived, thank you.

I was amused to see that the youth club had whist drives, I wonder what the youth of today would think of that. Not much I fear!

Pauline.

You can almost smell the smoke of the steam engines rising to the high glass roof of Liverpool Street Station

Lovely redolent drawings – I’m particularly intrigued at the ‘stocks in Shoreditch’ & the ‘Doll’s Hospital’ in Islington. Do you know what became of them?
