SHOREDITCH AND HOXTON IN 50 BUILDINGS (PB)

This book explores the history of this fascinating area of East London through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures. In addition to their architectural merits many of the buildings have a story to tell, whether it is a connection with Jack the Ripper or the lives of refugees and immigrants who have always lived in Shoreditch’s streets – Huguenot weavers, Jews escaping persecution in Eastern Europe and, more recently, the Bangladeshi community – as well as East End Londoners.
