Comments on: At Paul Pindar’s House https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/10/15/at-paul-pindars-house/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 15 Oct 2022 12:43:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Lynne Perrella https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/10/15/at-paul-pindars-house/#comment-1487839 Sat, 15 Oct 2022 12:43:21 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=193359#comment-1487839 Aren’t we so fortunate to have you, GA? You awaken us to so many marvels…….past and present.
My imagination is teeming with images of what the interior of the original Pindar house must have been like. Alas, I grew up wandering the galleries of the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, replete with endless “casts” of notable structures; so I have very complex feelings about the facade that has ended up in the V&A. I guess I am most grateful that all the various sketches, renderings, and engravings have endured — to me, they shine a light on this long-past fantastic structure, in addition to your generous recitation.

Carry on, indeed.

It’s extraordinary, along with that medieval French spiral staircase the best things in the puffed up V & A.
Ooh, the stories it could tell.
Carry on behind the facade!
