I always loved seeing miniature versions of shops etc; I enjoy looking at all the details. Wonder if any of the clayfigures were actual people that once walked that street or selled their wares?

As my Dubock ancestors had the Coach and Horses at 129 Petticoat Lane in the Regency Period and it was known to be there at least in 1855.
I’m always keen to find out as much as I can about the area.

And, I am enamored of the toy theaters. My husband, John Ellis, mentioned he was a classmate of George Speaight’s son and you are likely to know of him.

We now live in California, but long to live in Spitalfields. John had been a colleague of Richard MacCormac. We hope to rent his home from his son Will this summer.

A devoted reader, Kathleen
