Comments on: William Oglethorpe, Cheese Maker https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/07/02/william-oglethorpe-cheese-maker-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 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 18:25:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Tom https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/07/02/william-oglethorpe-cheese-maker-x/#comment-1355183 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 18:25:39 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=167357#comment-1355183 HI

We are opening a monthly craft and farmers market in Wimbledon starting at the end of this month. During December running up to Christmas we will have a weekly market.

We are teaming up with a rugby club that has 300 kids (from 2 – 13 years old) and their families who attend coaching on Sundays and thought your product would be of great interest to them.

I saw that you are a UK company and wondered if you would be interested in selling your items at our market?
If you are interested we could discuss options:
– Some traders will be at the market promoting and selling their products
– We have converted a shipping container with display shelves, a coffee bar and roof garden seating that some traders will provide products to be sold by us. I have attached pictures to help explain what we have planned.

Please let me know if this is of interest to you.

If the first pic had a map on the wall, it would look very Vermeer. Thank you for all the lovely pictures.

Not so easy to receive it here in Germany … but I have my dealers! (If only I could get one from Mr William Oglethorpe…)

Love & Peace

Can you tell me, please, whether the process has changed much since the 1850s? My ancestor, Sarah Piper, married William Bullwinkile, Cheesemonger, in 1851. Sarah looked after her nephew, John Bolton, when his parents died, and he became a cheesemonger, too. I believe they lived in Poplar for several years.

Thank you. I enjoy all that you write but as soon as I see Bermondsey mentioned there is heightened interest as my great grandfather was born in Bermondsey High Street, well Spa Road to be exact, and his mother had a greengrocer’s stall in the High Street for a brief time.

GA, another great slice of London life. Enjoyed the sketched “story of cheese.” Long may William Oglethorpe and his fellow cheesemakers thrive…

I have been enjoying reading your stories at the end of my milk round, when I sit in the float and have a coffee before returning to the depot.
