Comments on: At Whitechapel Mission On Christmas Eve https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/12/23/at-whitechapel-mission-on-christmas-eve/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 12 Jan 2020 06:30:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Andy https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/12/23/at-whitechapel-mission-on-christmas-eve/#comment-1326922 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 06:30:24 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=178664#comment-1326922 I used to live near the mission in Milward Street and I liked talking to people who were classified as Meths drinkers.

I liked the sense of no graces or aura.

This place deserves money and some Tory money diverted away from private hands and into the hearts of people like the above at the centre.

Anyone who is considering giving their time at Christmas should know that it is a rewarding experience . The stories that you hear from homeless people and those that find themselves in hostels can be heartbreaking . During my working years for Libraries I used to visit Arlington House a homeless shelter in Camden regularly and would talk to the men and listened to their stories. Some you could never forget

They were a highlight of Spitalfields Life for me. Looking at his work, I always get such a sense of the real people behind the image. Such a talented man. You must miss him terribly.
