Comments on: Peta Bridle’s River Etchings https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/05/11/peta-bridles-river-etchings/ 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, 07 Feb 2019 11:43:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: PETER WHEELER https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/05/11/peta-bridles-river-etchings/#comment-1259426 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 11:43:12 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=157483#comment-1259426 I love these etchings. My memories of playing down by the river and docks of Bermondsey with my brother in the late forties and early fifties are in black and white in my mind. It was a very drab time and these etchings give a similar feeling of that era.

An update on The Old Rose.
Developers are going to incorporate it in a new development.
So it will be open once again.

Your work has developed so much and yet it is still how I remember it at heart. I love the ones of the wreck on the river and Queen Phillippa and the little found objects. A real pleasure to see them.

So much talent and detail, as always.

are vivid reminders of the fascination of “small things” and how these saved treasures
become talismans. Skill and soul, side by side.

Would love to see more, perhaps of the Isle of Grain, and Cooling, that anglo-taxon shore beyond Gravesend. thank you Peta and Gentle Author, one of my continuing faves.

Missing London today…
