What to expect
Whitechapel Road
Through the bustling high street of Whitechapel with its grade II listed houses and its mosques and Churches. We will hear about the brave women who were part of the WWI resistance, the kindness of female Philanthropists of the late 1800s. Then I take you into the heart of the anarchistic movement of the 1890s.
60 minutes
Brick Lane
The area Monica Ali highlighted in her book of the same name. It's seen swathes of immigrants from Huguenot weevers to Jewish Tailors and then finally Bangladeshi restauranteurs. Stacked to the brim with history dating back to the early 1700s but this tour remember is about the women who were quiet revolutionaries in this area
20 minutes
Princelet St
An area which has featured in many famous films and still has a feel of times gone by with the pretty houses bunched with wooden shutters just as the Huguenots used to have. Extraordinarily there were several females who lived alone in the 1700s here!
10 minutes
Spitalfields Market E1
The delight of this market opened by Queen Victoria. The surrounding streets steeped in the history of Sylvia Pankhurst/Mary Wollstonecraft/Sara Wesker -screaming out the revolutionaries of the last three hundred years.
