Comments on: In Search Of Doreen Fletcher’s East End https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/02/16/in-search-of-doreen-fletchers-east-end/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 18 Feb 2019 18:32:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Sally Williajms https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/02/16/in-search-of-doreen-fletchers-east-end/#comment-1262742 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 18:32:09 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=172545#comment-1262742 Really enjoyed the exhibition a few weeks ago, and these then/now images are a great addition … I was given Doreen’s pencil version of Rene’s Cafe as part of my leaving gift from LBTH Arts Office in 1987, so it was lovely to see the painted version!

Well done!

I’d love to have heard the lively conversation that took place while this re-visit tour was taking place!

I love these posts where you contrast past and present. Each contrast creates its own story.
Thank you, yet again 🙂

One wonders why the Albion pub and Rene’s cafe were knocked down as there is nothing new in their place.?
But at least they have been spared the spreadsheet blandism of the new builds in Ben Johnson Road and the building next to Limehouse library which looks horribly like the building planned to replace Tadmans.
Looking forward to having another good look at the paintings on Tuesday.
