East End Vernacular<br />

tptp Brick Lane by Dan Jones<br />

Pearl Binder came from Salford and stayed in<br />

the last hayloft in Whitechapel for six years in the<br />

thirties, capturing the world she discovered in<br />

atmospheric lithographs which were published as<br />

illustrations to The Real East End by Thomas Burke<br />

in 1932.<br />

Dan Jones is Pearl Binder’s son. He has lived in<br />

Cable Street since 1967 and has painted a series<br />

of large-scale pictures illustrating public events in<br />

the East End over recent decades. This painting<br />

shows an anti-fascist march in 1977.<br />

Alfred Daniels was born in Bow in 1924 and,<br />

although his family moved to Chiswick in 1945,<br />

he continued to paint East End scenes from<br />

memory throughout his<br />

life. This man wheeling<br />

a gramophone through<br />

Petticoat Lane was one of<br />

his favourite subjects.<br />
