Mile
End Mural, 33 Mile End Road - can you identify any of the
characters?
Professional graffiti artists and their efforts
are a feature of the Brick Lane area, and indeed guided
tours of their work are on offer most days of the week. A
lesser known mural recently appeared on the wall of the offices
of T V Edwards Solicitors of 33 Mile End Road and this one
contains images of Jewish interest along with other fascinating
images depicting the life and times of the East End. A
few snippets are below, but do double click the images to
enlarge and see the full detail.
