The Survey of London returns to the East End to explore the enigmatic district of Whitechapel, shedding new light on this often misunderstood area. Spanning from Aldgate to Mile End Green and Brick Lane to Wellclose Square, these comprehensive volumes present a fresh perspective on the history of Whitechapel.
Renowned for its name, Whitechapel carries a rich and evocative aura, steeped in both darkness and myth. However, these volumes set aside these associations to present a comprehensive account of the sites and buildings in the districts that have undergone numerous rebuilds throughout history.
Whitechapel, situated adjacent to the City of London, has long been a hub of commerce and diverse industries since medieval times. Over the centuries, it has been a melting pot of cultures, enriched by the influx of immigrants. Despite the prevalence of poverty, Whitechapel has witnessed the establishment of some of London's renowned institutions.
In recent years, Whitechapel has undergone a remarkable transformation. These volumes serve as historical records, featuring hundreds of superb new photographs and meticulous architectural drawings that illustrate detailed accounts of the district's topographical development in accessible prose. They will be an invaluable resource for historians, planners, residents, and the broader public, providing a deeper understanding of this fascinating and complex area.
Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, these volumes contribute to our understanding of London's rich cultural heritage and its ongoing evolution.
