Houses in Spital Square
Description
General view of Spital Square, Spitalfields, looking north towards White Lion Street. 15 Spital Square is at the left-hand corner, with 22 Folgate Street on the corner opposite. Adjoining number 22 is 17 Spital Square. At the far end of the photograph is 19-23 Folgate Street. Number 21 is occupied by the offices of F. Burford undertaking painting, plumbing and gas fitting. Next door at number 23 is the storage for Welford & Sons Ltd, with a chief office in Elgin Avenue, W. A finger sign points off to the right towards its 'Office and Dairy'. Street bollards and a swing gate close off Spital Square at this point. A man and a boy are seen on the left-hand side and another man in a bowler hat stands outside number 17. All the buildings still exist. 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.
