Comments on: The Journeyman Weavers’ Houses https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/05/29/the-journeyman-weavers-houses/ 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, 30 May 2019 14:49:54 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Simon https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/05/29/the-journeyman-weavers-houses/#comment-1290047 Thu, 30 May 2019 14:49:54 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=174704#comment-1290047 I have objected, thank you for informing us!

These unique places deserve our efforts to save them.

I tried to save Jubilee Street but that didn’t work out well, let’s hope we can save the weavers’ houses. I will not give up.

I’ve already registered my objection (from the U.S. via email), and I know at least one other Club Row silk weaver descendant has as well. Will let him and the others know of this encouraging news.

It is encouraging and gives me a teeny sense of agency in the matter. That’s good!

Thank you again for bringing Club Row doings to our attention, and guiding us through the process of registering objections.

It seems that they are set on a path of a brave new world of bland hotels , expensive residences for the wealthy, glass and concrete towers, unafordable shops in empty and characterless high streets. I would love those whom we take the trouble to elect to the council to prove me wrong .

I had ancestors who were weavers and lived at 26 Sclater Street,(mid 1800’s) and some in Brick Lane…
