Recently Oma, Arlie TOUW at the Dutch Church in central London, recorded verbally and in print her story about living in Holland when the Second World War ‘touched Holland’ and how she eventually escaped to England with her then 3 little boys to Safety.
I red her story on Spitalfields.
I would very much like a hard copy. Please advise me where I can acquire a hard copy of her war story. Thank you.
Also if you were able to forward your telephone number to me, I would be happy to call you. Thank you.
Miss Patricia TOUW

If one is made, please let us all know how to purchase. Yvonne Cheyney

Here’s hoping that changes soon.

I am an old girl of Central Foundation School for girls and know and love the area. I walked round it for 8 years, when the old market was there. They should never have closed the school.

THIS would be worth a trip to London from the States. I’ve seen and experienced so many things and places in Spitalfields because of your writings – what a TREAT this will be for those fortunate enough to accompany you! I’m green with envy.

We follow the blog from far flung places. (I am in California.). I would pay for a tour and would love to see the places you write about having spent only an evening in Spitalfields to tour Dennis Severs’ home, a highlight of my many times in London.

From the responses to this Spitalfields issue, it looks like I’m one of many who are presently on the wrong side of the Atlantic. Ah well, patience, patience.
