This handsome
sign is a landmark in achingly trendy Shoreditch. It’s on the corner of Bethnal
Green Road and Brick Lane, in hipster territory. The smart mid-Victorian
terrace dates from around 1878-1883. The growth of the cabinet making industry
at this time brought new buildings to the area, often on conspicuous corner
sites. This building has been associated with the clothing industry,
restaurants and illegal gun trade.
