Summary
[edit]DescriptionFournier Street - looking westward.jpg |
English: 17 February 2008. Fournier Street, Spitalfields, near the junction with Brick Lane, looking towards Commercial Street. On the right, at number 59 Brick Lane, is the Jamme Masjid (Great Mosque).
The building was originally a Protestant church, built in 1743 by French Huguenots. From 1898 - 1970 it was a synagogue - the Machzike Hadath. The building became a mosque in 1976, serving the large local Bangladeshi community. It's one of the larger mosques in London. __________________________ Links § The Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Trust website. § Wikipedia entry for the Brick Lane Mosque. § Wikipedia entries: Fournier Street and History of Bangladeshis in the United Kingdom. § Photo by Doilum of the corner of Fournier Street and Brick Lane. § Detail of the frontage shown in a photo by David Hardman. Includes the original Latin inscription on the church: 'Umbra Sumus; We are shadow'. (From Horace: 'Pulvis et umbra sumus - We are dust and shadow'.) § The sundial itself is clearer in a photo on the website Spitalfields Life. § Reviews of Rachel Lichtenstein's book (1) (2) On Brick Lane. § East End Walks website. § The name 'Fournier' - French for baker - shows the Huguenot origins. § Links checked and updated 6 January 2015. -§- Link not working?
