The book Rodinsky's Room which I have been reading this past week, see posting below, has brought me back to my own early forays into that neighbourhood.
I wandered those Whitechapel Streets in the seventies.Exploring around the markets and the backstreets interested in the Huguenot architecture in and around Princelet and Fournier streets. In Rodinsky's Room this is the axis around which the story rotates; 19 Princelet St.
I have a friend who lives nearby and I have just re-connected with her after 25 years which I am very pleased about! I am looking forward to re-visiting the area.
The buildings around there are very special, see above. The top doorway is on Fournier St.
