Title
Shops and synagogue in Old Castle Street
Description
Front elevations of 34-46 Old Castle Street, Whitechapel, looking north. Nearest the camera is number 34 on the corner of Castle Court (later renamed Chess Court). Outside number 36 there is a large wicker frame which looks as if it might have held straw and there's an entrance with large wooden double doors and a sign above for J. Palkowski wholesale and export business. The upper floor windows have iron railings and a small sign on the wall of the first floor between the windows appears to read "Elizabethan Cottages". Next door is the Old Castle Street [Jewish] Synagogue with an arched window on the ground floor with shutters. The Synagogue was believed to have been started as a Chevra (a Society) in the 1850s. Further down the street at number 46 I. Lipman & Son is trading in wallpapers. In front of the synagogue is a four-wheel, horse drawn covered wagon facing towards the shops on Wentworth Street. The top of an iron bollard is visible in the foreground marking the entrance to a yard.
