Comments on: Dennis Anthony’s Petticoat Lane https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/09/24/dennis-anthonys-petticoat-lane-x/ 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, 24 Nov 2020 21:34:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Rosie Drake https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/09/24/dennis-anthonys-petticoat-lane-x/#comment-1358809 Tue, 24 Nov 2020 21:34:17 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=160445#comment-1358809 I might know who Dennis Anthony is. I might be wrong but I know a wonderful old gentleman who was a photographer based in London and would have been around 20 or so years old in the 1960’s. He lives in Devon now, I could ask him???

GA, great pics. Everyone in their Sunday best on a beautiful summer’s day. Particularly liked the one of the gals behind the hanging jewelry …

We’d look for mod fashion bargains. You could pick up a Biba copied dress for a song. The ambiance was amazing: noisy, crowded, diverse and vibrant. Then it was a bagel, still warm from the oven before getting the bus home.

And that closely-coiffured gentleman in the shades and cravat is one cool dude.

Lovely photos, of a fine, lost Sunday.
