les briquesVers Brick Lane à Spitalfields, il y a des briques (ben oui), mais aussi quelques vieilles enseignes qui conservent de petits fragments de l’histoire des lieux. Le quartier a accueilli des Huguenots, des Irlandais et des Juifs d’Europe centrale avant de devenir, à partir du milieu du XXe siècle, un haut lieu de l’immigration bangladaise. Il semble difficile de dater précisément cette enseigne de magasin de saris sur Princelet Street, qui pourrait remonter au début des années 70 (le commerce a déménagé aujourd’hui). La maison date elle de la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle et abritait à l’origine l’atelier d’un tisserand huguenot (le petit écusson jaune au-dessus de la porte indique “En Dieu est tout”, en français dans le texte). Juillet 2023.

I've had an enquiry about this fading fascia that has been retained in situ at 74 Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1*.
It's a palimpsest for R. Sullivan (Wardrobe Dealer) and what someone once told me were metal workers A. Liechti
Various street directories between 1882–1939 have a tobacconists here, including those prior to 1900 when the house number looks like it was 56. However, the Liechti sign also seems to have the number 58 or 68 on it...
The presence of 74 on the Sullivan layer means that that sign at least is post-1939, unless that business was a short-lived occupancy between two tobacconists.
Can anyone shed any further light on it all?

In 1926, Peterkin Custard's "Real Eggs" claim came before a court of law, and found to be less than truthful.
There's more about this, and the wider Peterkin story, here:

As a result of sharing that article, the final pieces of the Peterkin puzzle fell into place ahead of being shared in Ghost Signs: A London Story. I've pasted the relevant section into the alt text of the second photo.
