Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Lolesworth Buildings, Thrawl Street. These tenements were built by East End Dwellings Co Ltd in 1885 to house the large number of immigrants, mostly Russian Jews, flocking to the Whitechapel area of London. They were an improvement over the rat and bug infested dilapidated hell holes described eloquently by Jack London in his book "People of the Abyss", but not by much. with families of anything up to ten or more children living in just two or three rooms, it wasn't long before they too became bug ridden slums. After WW2, they were done up a bit and made more habitable. But their time was up.
My photograph, was taken shortly before the tenants were moved out in 1973. (You can see some of the entrances have already been bricked up to deter squatters.) You can see what the site looks like now in Oxyman's picture of Thrawl Street https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1032512. |
