Title
Houses in Spital Square
Description
General view of Spital square, Spitalfields, looking east. On the left of the photograph is a horse and cart of the Great Eastern Railway Company. Beside it two houses have ornate iron balconies. Men stand in a fairly empty square which another man is portaging. Behind him is a carriage for the Palatine Laundry of 198 Millfields Road, Clapton, which waits outside a school entrance (Grade II listed, entry number 1065058). On the left is a horse-drawn Hackney carriage waiting outside Spital Square Synagogue. Further past the school is a house with an advertising hoarding above for M. Trevert[on & Son], [fancy] box & pattern card maker. Even higher above is one for M[aurice]. Cohen's Mantl[e manufacturers]. Spital Square was at the heart of the St John and Tillard estate; a development of grand houses, mostly occupied by silk merchants and master weavers and largely demolished in the 1920s and 1930s.
