LONDON EAST END ADDRESSES
See below for list of addresses,associated families and some other (selected) details.
5 April 2013. Spent 3 hours today tramping around the East End of London in the freezing cold to find what if anything remains of the homes of my grandparents and great grandparents from the early 1900s. Answer: practically nothing. BK
Charlotte de Rothschild Buildings, Thrawl Street - in 1911 the Mizelas family were living at no.17.
The pictures below are of the entrance to the Charlotte de Rothschild Dwellings, Thrawl Street (also known as Rothchild Buildings). The building was, thankfully, demolished in the early 1970s. An internet search for images will show what a dreadful place this tenement block had become. It was originally built to be modern housing for poor immigrants in the East End of London. The disreputable Thrawl Street formed its boundary on the south side, and the even worse Flower and Dean Street was the north boundary. The arch below is all that remains (though it has been moved some yards away from its original site). An inscription at the top of the arch reads: ERECTED BY THE FOUR PER CENT INDUSTRIAL DWELLINGS COMPANY
The first picture is from the outside, the second from the inside. Click on the pictures for larger images.
