Comments on: So Long, Alfons Jedrzejewski Of Puma Court https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/03/07/so-long-alfons-jedrzejewski-of-puma-court/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 27 Jul 2023 05:45:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: angela Brown https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/03/07/so-long-alfons-jedrzejewski-of-puma-court/#comment-1516442 Thu, 27 Jul 2023 05:45:13 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=131250#comment-1516442 I remember going to visit my Great Grandmother in Puma court Almshouses. Mrs Lilian Wagner. 60 years ago, She died around 1963. Would love to go inside her one to see it now.
She lived in the one on the left on ground floor as you go through the gate.
I also remember the dairy opposite. This had a milk machine outside, which dispensed milk in cartons

my name is Jaromir Maćkiewicz, I’m from Poland. My grandmother is probably a sister of Alfons Jędrzejewski, the man, about whom you wrote an article. I’d be grateful if I got more information about this man, we’ve lost contact with him some time ago. Could you please contact me? My email address: jaromir.mackiewicz96@gmail.com or Facebook.

I worry so much about our beloved London, that in five years time it will be all but unrecognisable to me in spirit and ethos if things continue as they have been for the past five years … apart from pockets of light and intelligence, care and humanity, which we see here each day with the Gentle Author. Of course, just as the Thames ebbs and flows, so our great city London changes, develops, moves forward and back. Rather like the new mosaics we see at Queen Hythe, tiny fragments of colour and light to create a beautiful whole, we must surely each of us, work towards keeping and creating what we know to be a good and great city, that is, one which enables all who toil within it to live and dream in safety and comfort. s
