“On the road to the French house, Lesley performed with a python in cabaret before graduating to managing a strip club in Old Compton St in 1979, where admission cost 50p and senior customers brought sandwiches to stay all day.”

Very sad news, I loved her book uncovering the history of little house near The Globe, The House On The Thames. Her forthcoming novel, very appropriately published by Spitalfields Life, sounds fantastic.

Sad news. ‘The Fields Beneath’ and ‘The House by the Thames’ are two of the best books ever written about London’s history. I hadn’t realised till I looked her up how wide was her range, or that she started by writing fiction…

It is with a heart full of emotion that I have to announce that my good friend the historian GILLIAN TINDALL died on Wednesday aged 86. In February, Gillian asked me to publish her final work, JOURNAL OF A MAN UNKNOWN, which comes out on 6th November. spitalfieldslife.bigcartel.com

I like seeing so many terriers and terrier mixes represented in the photographs. This one looks so much like our own dog — Charlie/Charles/Chazza, or Bogdan (his middle name) when misbehaving — that it’s quite uncanny. Surely an ancestor.

Martin White, the Textile Consultant, aged two, showing a fine head of curls. He is wearing a green woolen coat quite possibly trimmed with velvet.
“He was a Rag Merchant, whereas I am a Textile Consultant. I understand textiles, I know about suitings and have been dealing in them since 1946. Our different specialities complemented each other.”
