Spitalfields Market Walk, London Walking Tour 4K HDR with Captions

Welcome to the Spitalfields Walking Tour In this video, we will be walking through the vibrant Spitalfields Market as well as the surrounding area We are now at London Liverpool Street Station which is one of the busiest train stations in London Liverpool Street station was built as the new London terminus for the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in mid 19th century This is due to the inadequacy of the existing Bishopsgate station, which was poorly situated for City of London commuters. The initial plan was for a terminus reaching London Wall, but city authorities did not permit it. By 1865, a revised plan included a line branching from Shoreditch to Liverpool Street, with Bishopsgate repurposed for freight. Authorized by the Great Eastern Railway Act 1864, construction began on a 10-acre site, displacing 3,000 residents and 7,000 people in Shoreditch. The station featured Gothic architecture, a two-span wood construction train shed, and an Italianate style for the buildings. It opened in stages from October 1874, fully operating by November 1875 at a cost of over £2 million. The original Bishopsgate terminus was converted to a goods station until destroyed by fire in 1964. Adjoining the station, the Great Eastern Hotel, designed by Charles Barry Jr., opened in May 1884 as the only hotel in the City of London, with an extension added in 1901. Initially seen as an expensive "white elephant," Liverpool Street station reached capacity within ten years, handling about 600 trains daily. The GER acquired land east of the station and began expanding in 1890, adding eight new tracks and platforms, making it the London terminus with the most platforms until Victoria’s expansion in 1908. The station extended 230 feet eastwards with additional shops and offices, and a new roof was built. The expansion involved extensive civil works, including new bridges and rehousing displaced tenants. By the early 20th century, Liverpool Street had one of London’s most extensive suburban rail services, serving 200,000 passengers daily on about 1,000 trains. During the First World War, Operation Turkenkreuz, the first air raid on London occurred on 13 June 1917 when 20 Gotha G.IV bombers attacked the city, including Liverpool Street station. The raid dropped seven tons of explosives, killing 162 people and injuring 432. At Liverpool Street, three bombs hit the station, with two exploding and causing 16 deaths and 15 injuries. This raid was the deadliest on Britain during the war. A memorial for over 1,000 GER employees who died in the war was installed in the booking hall and unveiled on 22 June 1922 by Sir Henry Wilson, who was assassinated later that day. A plaque commemorating Wilson was added next to the GER monument. The memorial, along with one for mariner Charles Fryatt, who was executed in 1916, was relocated during station modifications and now includes salvaged architectural elements from demolished buildings. By the early 1900s, the success of deep-bore electric trains on the Underground indicated potential for electrifying local services from London. Post-WWI, Liverpool Street station needed more capacity, serving nearly 230,000 passengers daily in 1921, but the GER couldn’t afford electrification. They considered but rejected high-powered steam locomotives due to high track loadings. Instead, GER implemented a scheme using automatic signalling and layout modifications at Liverpool Street, including on-site coaling, watering, and maintenance facilities, separate engine bays, and a redesigned track layout to improve efficiency. This Intensive Service, known popularly as the Jazz Service, began on 2 July 1920, with frequent trains to Chingford and Enfield, increasing peak capacity by 50% at a cost of £80,000, compared to £3 million for electrification. The service declined after the General Strike of 1926. In 1923, GER merged into the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), and Liverpool Street experienced neglect throughout the 1930s. In the late 1930s, during the Second World War, thousands of Jewish refugee children arrived at Liverpool Street station through the Kindertransport rescue mission. To commemorate this, the Für Das Kind Kindertransport Memorial by Flor Kent was installed in September 2003, featuring a glass case with original objects and a bronze sculpture of a girl. Due to weather damage, the memorial was replaced by Frank Meisler’s Kindertransport – The Arrival in November 2006, placed at the main entrance, while the original girl statue was re-erected separately in 2011. During World War II, the station was damaged by a nearby bomb, affecting the Gothic tower at the main entrance and its glass roof. The large West Side hanging clock was moved to platform level to serve as an enquiry office throughout the war. After the formation of the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933, work began to electrify the line from Liverpool Street to Shenfield, in association with the LNER. Although halted by the war, the line to Stratford was electrified by December 1946, and the full Shenfield line by 1949. Further electrification of services led to some London Underground routes replacing Liverpool Street services, with the Chingford line electrified by 1960. The Shenfield route was converted to 6.25kV AC in 1960-61 and to 25kV AC in 1980. A 1973 report recommended modernizing Liverpool Street and Broad Street stations, funded through property development. Due to various design and infrastructure issues, British Railways planned demolition and redevelopment, which met public opposition. A public inquiry in 1976-77, influenced by Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman, recommended retaining the western train shed roof, leading to repairs completed by 1987. Revised development plans focused on a single concourse and released ground space for development. The Broadgate development began in 1985, constructing 330,000 m² of office space, and funded the station’s modernization. The station was reconstructed with new entrances and a bus interchange. In 1988, a campaign successfully preserved The Arcade from demolition. In 1989, Liverpool Street introduced the first visual display unit-controlled signalling operation on British Rail. The redeveloped station was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 5 December 1991, featuring a giant mechanical ‘flapper’ departures board, which was replaced in 2007. In 1991, Liverpool Street Station added an entrance on the east side of Bishopsgate with a subway under the road. The station was twinned with Amsterdam Centraal on 2 December 1993. On 24 April 1993, the station was damaged by the Bishopsgate bombing, causing around £250,000 in damage primarily to the glass roof, but it reopened two days later. During the Crossrail project in 2013, a 17th-century mass burial ground, known as the Bedlam burial ground, was discovered at Liverpool Street, containing the remains of several hundred people, including plague victims and prisoners. Excavations continued into 2015, uncovering approximately 3,000 interments. In 2015, TfL Rail took over the Liverpool Street-Shenfield metro service from Greater Anglia, and London Overground took over services on the Lea Valley Lines. The Elizabeth line’s central section opened on 24 May 2022, with new platforms southwest of the existing tube station. We are now on part of Bishopsgate street that is within the area called "Spitalsfield" Spitalfields is an area in London, England and is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is in East London and situated in the East End. Spitalfields is formed around Commercial Street and Brick Lane. It has several markets, including Spitalfields Market, the historic Old Spitalfields Market, Brick Lane Market and Petticoat Lane Market. The area has a long attracted migrants from overseas, including many Jews, whose presence gained the area the 19th century nickname of Little Jerusalem. It was a Hamlet (autonomous area) of the large ancient parish of Stepney in Middlesex, and became an independent parish in 1729. Just outside the City of London, it formed part of the County of London from 1889 and was part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney from 1900. It was abolished as a civil parish in 1921. The name Spitalfields appears in the form Spittellond in 1399; as The spitel Fyeld on the "Woodcut" map of London of c.1561; and as Spyttlefeildes, also in 1561. The land belonged to St Mary Spital, a priory or hospital erected on the east side of the Bishopsgate thoroughfare in 1197, from which its name is thought to derive. An alternative, and possibly earlier, name for the area was Lolsworth. We are now at the Iconic Spitalfield Market. Spitalfields Market is a traders’ market as well as a food and art market located in Spitalfields, Central London. Traders began operating around 1666, after the Great Fire of London, where the market stands today. The Spitalfields regeneration programme that ended in 2005,resulted in two new public spaces – Bishops Square and Crispin Place, which restored several historic streets and resulted in more independent retailers and restaurants. Spitalfields Market is situated in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is surrounded by Lamb Street, Old Spitalfields market, Brushfield Street and Bishops Square. The history of Spitalfield Market can be dated back to 17th century. In 1682, King Charles II officially granted John Balch a Royal Charter allowing him to hold a market every Thursday and Saturday in Spital Square. Over time, the market became one of the main fruit and vegetable markets for London — alongside Covent Garden Market. The reputation of the market encouraged Huguenot silk weavers to settle in the area. They were fleeing France, following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Some of their houses are still standing around Fournier Street, which is now a conservation area. In the mid-1700s, Irish weavers also settled in the area following the decline in the Irish linen industry. The growth in the area led to the establishment of Hawksmoor’s Christ Church in 1729, which consecrated Spitalfields becoming a parish in its own right. After the 1820s, Spitalfields fell into decline, gaining a reputation as a cheap area in which to live, proving a magnet to numerous waves of immigrants. Jewish refugees filled the area, mainly fleeing Pogroms in the Russian Empire, while some were entrepreneurs from the Netherlands. Between the 1880s and 1970s, Spitalfields was one of the largest Jewish communities in England, having more than forty synagogues. By 1876, the market itself had fallen into decline. Recognising the need to improve the market, a former market porter called Robert Horner bought a short lease and built a new market building at a cost of £80,000, which opened in 1893. In 1920, the City of London acquired direct control of the Market and subsequently extended the site. Due to traffic congestion, lack of space for parking lorries, as well as out of date market buildings the wholesale market was relocated out of the City in the early 1990s. This followed the move of Covent Garden Market and Billingsgate Fish Market out of the city centre. The new, purpose built location in Leyton – named New Spitalfields Market) – opened in May 1991. A market remained on the site however – serving the public rather than trade customers. By the mid-20th century, most of the Jewish community had left the area and since the 1970s, a Bangladeshi community has been flourishing. New cultures, trades and business now fill the area including the renowned Brick Lane restaurant district. There is still some evidence of the various communities from the past that stand today. This include a Huguenot church, Methodist chapel, Jewish synagogue, and Muslim mosque amongst new stores, housing, restaurants and markets. In the mid 2000s, the market site was redeveloped. The new development known as Spitalfields, is located within the areas known as Bishops Square, Market Street & Crispin Place, which includes the Spitalfields Traders Market in Crispin Place. Directly adjacent with a seamless boundary and shared covered roof, is Old Spitalfields Market, situated in the Horner Buildings. Spitalfields Market currently is open every day of the week. It hosts various retail brands, street-food stalls, bars and restaurants, and independent traders showcasing handcrafted goods, artwork, fashion, and jewellery. It also hosts public art and events programmes. We are now at the Old Spitalfields Market which is the old part of the market. Old Spitalfields Market is a covered market in Spitalfields, London. This site has been a market on the site since 1638 when King Charles I gave a licence for flesh, fowl and roots to be sold on Spittle Fields, which was then a rural area on the eastern outskirts of London. After the rights to a market had seemingly lapsed during the time of the Commonwealth, the market was re-founded in 1682 by King Charles II in order to feed the burgeoning population of a new suburb of London. Market buildings were sited on the rectangular patch of open ground which retained the name Spittle Fields. It was demarcated by Crispin Street to the west, Lamb Street to the north, Red Lion Street (later subsumed into Commercial Street) to the east and Paternoster Row (later known as Brushfield Street) to the south. The existing buildings were constructed between 1885 and 1893 to the designs of George Sherrin. They were commissioned by Robert Horner, the last private owner of the market, and remain known as the Horner Buildings. The market was acquired by the City of London Corporation in 1920, to serve as a wholesale market. It was extended westward to Steward Street in 1926, destroying the northern extensions of Crispin Street and Gun Street in the process. In 1991 the wholesale fruit and vegetable market moved to New Spitalfields Market, Leyton, and the original site became known as Spitalfields Market. The market stalls were redesigned by architects Foster and Partners for Old Spitalfields Market in October 2017. Being at the centre of a revival in the area, the eastern end of Spitalfields retained its old charm in Horner Square and Horner Buildings, which are Grade II listed buildings. The Victorian buildings and the market hall and roof have been restored and Spitalfields is now one of London’s major markets. The market square is a popular fashion, arts and crafts, food and general market, open seven days a week, but is particularly busy at weekends. In the late 20th century, there was a dispute between the owners, the City of London Corporation and local residents about the redevelopment of the 1926 market extension at the western end. The Corporation won, and now a Norman Foster-designed office block surrounds the western side of the site, after two-thirds of the historic market were rebuilt to include restaurants, shops and a large indoor arts and crafts market, called the Traders’ Market. The Gun, a pub situated to the south of the market buildings, recalls Tudor times, when the Old Artillery Ground in this area was used by the Honourable Artillery Company to practice with cross-bow, and later guns and artillery pieces. At the east end, and on the other side of Commercial Street, is Christ Church, a large Nicholas Hawksmoor church. In January 2011 Spitalfields received the "Best Private Market" award by the National Association of British Market Authorities. Old Spitalfields Market currently hosts a vintage market each Thursday, a vinyl fair on Fridays and a general arts and craft market throughout the week continuing through to the weekend. The history of the Spitalfields area can be dated back to the Roman Eras. The Romans had a cemetery to the east of the Bishopsgate thoroughfare, which aligns with Ermine Street, the main route north from Londinium. Antiquarian John Stow noted the cemetery in 1576, and it became the subject of a significant archaeological excavation in the 1990s during the redevelopment of Spitalfields Market. In 2013, Janet Montgomery from Durham University conducted lead isotope analysis on tooth enamel, identifying the first known person from Rome buried in Britain. This individual was a 25-year-old woman buried in a lead-lined stone sarcophagus around the mid-4th century A.D., with grave goods made of jet and glass. In 1197, Walter Brunus and his wife Roisia founded a priory called The New Hospital of St Mary without Bishopsgate, later known as St Mary Spital, on the site of the cemetery. It became one of the largest hospitals in medieval England, featuring a large cemetery with a mortuary chapel and stone charnel house. Archaeologists have uncovered and preserved the chapel for public viewing. The priory and hospital were dissolved in 1539 under Henry VIII, and at that time, the hospital had 180 beds for the sick poor. The inner precinct of the priory hospital was adjacent to the area that later became the Hamlet and parish of Spitalfields, in the small extra-parochial area known as the Liberty of Norton Folgate. Despite the demolition of most monastic buildings during Henry VIII’s reign, the Liberty remained an autonomous area outside any parish. The southern outer precincts were repurposed for artillery practice by the gunners of the Tower of London and became known as the Old Artillery Ground, under the special jurisdiction of the Tower of London as one of its Tower Liberties. Other parts of the priory area were used for residential purposes by Londoners seeking a rural retreat. By the mid-17th century, development extended eastward into the formerly open farmland of the Spital Field. Spitalfields was primarily fields and nursery gardens until its development in the late 17th century. The local industry at that time was weaving, dominated by Huguenot refugees from France who settled in the area after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. They chose Spitalfields to avoid the restrictive legislation of the City guilds. These refugees brought their weaving skills and an Order in Council in 1687 raised £200,000 to support them. By December 1687, around 13,050 French refugees had settled in London, mainly in Spitalfields, Bethnal Green, Shoreditch, Whitechapel, and Mile End New Town. During the late 17th and 18th centuries, well-appointed terraced houses were built for the master weavers, along with grand urban mansions around Bishops Square. Christ Church, Spitalfields, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, was built to demonstrate the power of the established church to the Huguenots, who had built ten chapels in the area. More modest weavers’ dwellings were located in the Tenterground. The Spitalfields Mathematical Society was founded in 1717 and later merged with the Royal Astronomical Society in 1846. In the 1730s, Irish weavers joined the silk trade in Spitalfields after the decline of the Irish linen industry. The silk industry experienced periodic crises in the 18th century due to imports of French silk and printed calicos, leading to protests. The Spitalfield riots of 1769 saw weavers protesting against market downturns, resulting in the hanging of an Irish and a Huguenot weaver. Price controls established for journeymen’s wages removed incentives to pay higher wages or use machinery, causing a decline in silk manufacturing employment by 1822. The remaining industry focused on expensive fashion items due to their higher margins. In 1729, Spitalfields became an independent parish, detached from Stepney. The parish church was Christ Church, Spitalfields, with St Stephen Spitalfields added later in 1860. St Stephen Spitalfields was demolished in 1930, with only the vicarage remaining. By the Victorian era, the silk industry in Spitalfields had significantly declined, and the once-grand merchant houses had turned into overcrowded slums. Spitalfields became synonymous with urban poverty. In 1832, during concerns about a cholera outbreak in London, The Poor Man’s Guardian described the area as having dilapidated homes crammed with families living in dark, cramped conditions. In 1860, a treaty with France allowed the import of cheaper French silks, leading to unemployment and poverty among the weavers in Spitalfields, Bethnal Green, and Shoreditch. New trades, such as furniture and boot making, emerged, and the large-windowed Huguenot houses became suitable for tailoring. This shift attracted a new population of Jewish refugees who worked in the textile industry. By the late 19th century, inner Spitalfields had become notorious as the worst criminal area in London. Common lodging-houses on Flower and Dean Street were infamous for criminal activities. In 1881, Flower and Dean Street was described as "perhaps the foulest and most dangerous street in the metropolis." Dorset Street also gained a terrible reputation, particularly after the brutal murder of Mary Jane Kelly by Jack the Ripper in 1888, part of the Whitechapel Murders. The area’s severe poverty led to the demolition of some slums between 1891 and 1894. However, deprivation persisted and was highlighted by social commentators like Jack London in his 1903 book, "The People of the Abyss." He noted ‘Itchy Park,’ near Christ Church, Spitalfields, as a notorious gathering spot for the homeless. In the late 20th century, the Jewish community in Spitalfields dwindled and was replaced by Bangladeshi immigrants, who also worked in the local textile industry and transformed Brick Lane into London’s curry capital. By 1981, over 60% of households were of minority ethnic origin. From the 1960s onward, efforts began to save the historic merchant terraces west of Brick Lane from demolition. The Spitalfields Historic Buildings Trust played a key role in preserving these buildings, leading to gentrification and a sharp rise in property prices. In the 21st century, large office blocks were constructed between Bishopsgate and Spitalfields Market, altering the area’s character. Despite conservationists preserving Old Spitalfields Market and creating a plaza with shopping and leisure amenities, developers were permitted to demolish the Fruit and Wool Exchange for more office buildings. Since 1998, the area has been part of the Spitalfields and Banglatown electoral ward, reflecting its strong ties to Bangladesh. In September 2015, there was a protest against gentrification at the Cereal Killer Cafe on Brick Lane, a symbol of the area’s changing demographics. The house that people are gathered in front of use is Dennis Severs’ House Dennis Severs’ House, located in Folgate Street, London, is a historical tourist attraction designed to evoke the life of a Huguenot silk-weaving family. Owned and inhabited by Dennis Severs until his death, the Grade II listed Georgian terraced house in Spitalfields was gradually transformed by Severs from 1979 to 1999 into a time capsule representing different historical periods. Severs’ friend, Dan Cruickshank, described it as more of a theatrical set than an accurate historical recreation, intended to immerse visitors in an imagined past. Dennis Severs (16 November 1948 – 27 December 1999) moved to London, attracted by its "English light," and bought a dilapidated house on Folgate Street from the Spitalfields Trust in 1979. The area, near Spitalfields Market, had fallen into disrepair but was becoming popular with artists. Severs, part of the Neo-Georgian group, began renovating the ten rooms of his house, each styled to represent a different historical period, mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries. The rooms appear as though their occupants have just left, featuring period objects, smells, and sounds to enhance authenticity. The house tells the fictional story of the Jervis family, Huguenot silk weavers, who lived there from 1725 to 1919. Each room captures moments in their lives, creating a journey through time. Peter Ackroyd described it as a pilgrimage through life, while Gavin Stamp called it a "three-dimensional historical novel." Severs referred to his work as "still-life drama," aiming to create atmospheres that capture the spirit of various ages. Dennis Severs’ House inspired Brian Selznick’s 2015 novel "The Marvels" and received high praise from Jeanette Winterson and David Hockney. Despite Severs’ acceptance of the house’s ephemeral nature, it was preserved by the Spitalfields Trust and remains open to the public, inviting visitors to partake in an imaginative journey to another era. In front of us is the oldest building in Spitalfields area called "the charnel house" [Information Board] Charnel House : The crypt of the chapel of St Mary Magdalene and St Edmund the Bishop build in about 1320 and sited in the cemetery of the priory and Hospital of St Mary Hospital. This crypt was used as a charnel house, a store for human bones disturbed during the digging of graves within the cemetery. In the chapel above, services were held to dedicate the bone beneath. After St Mary Spital was closed in 1539, most of the bones were removed, and the crypt became a house until it was demolished in about 1700. The crypt then lay forgotten beneath the gardens of terraced houses and then Steward Street until it was found in archeological excavations in 1999. pitalfields has a strong local community, represented by the Spitalfields Community Group, which aims to enhance community spirit and improve residents’ quality of life. Spitalfields Music also strengthens the community through musical events, and the Spitalfields Housing Association provides high-quality community services. The Nomadic Community Gardens, a social project located in a previously overgrown and fenced-off area, is popular among locals without gardens. The garden, made from found materials, street art, sculpture, and allotments, is a temporary project run by a private company on behalf of the property developer Londonewcastle. The developer, which leases the site for a minimal rent and provided initial funding, obtained planning permission in November 2015 for affordable housing, townhouses, and apartments. Construction was expected to start in 2016, but as of June 2019, no work has commenced. This is the Bishop Square. It is a large commercial property development in the Spitalfields area of London, England. Previously owned by Hammerson, and later jointly by Hammerson and the Oman Investment Fund, it is now owned by JP Morgan. It has been cited as an example of a privately owned public space in London. In front of us is the artillery lane which connect to the narrow alley full of history called "Artillery Passage" Artillery Passage, commonly called Smock Alley, and the eastern part of Artillery Lane, sometimes known as Raven Row, have a history of varied names and early development. By the mid-17th century, maps show buildings along this street line, with continuous development by 1677. The land was part of William Wheler’s estate, inherited by his daughter Katherine in 1675, and later transferred through various owners. In 1708, it was sold to trustees for Charles Wood and Simon Michell, who later sold it to Richard Griffen. Griffen’s son, George, mortgaged the property in 1735. By 1756, Sarah Wescomb leased six houses on Artillery Passage and Artillery Lane, though it’s unclear if her interest was freehold or leasehold. The history of the freehold beyond this point is not well-documented. Nos. 1–8 Artillery Passage were constructed by William Parker around 1707, although only No. 3 remains today. No. 9a Artillery Passage and No. 52 Artillery Lane likely formed part of the leasehold estate of Thomas Wilkes in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. No. 9a, occupied by Robert Chilman before 1700, may have been built alongside Nos. 1–8 by Parker. No. 52 Artillery Lane, initially occupied by Ephraim Montague in 1713, later housed notable figures such as Benjamin Barrineau and Peter Motteux, an apothecary and likely son of the translator Peter Anthony Motteux. Peter Motteux occupied No. 52 until 1757 when he sub-leased the property and is described in his will as having a leasehold estate in Raven Row and Frying Pan Alley. No. 3 Artillery Passage is a small three-story house with a late 17th-century front featuring mixed stocks and segmental brick arches. No. 52 Artillery Lane and No. 9a Artillery Passage were built as mirrored pairs with modern shop-fronts. Though No. 52 Artillery Lane has undergone some rebuilding, the upper two storeys of No. 9a Artillery Passage retain their original red brick face. Each storey of both houses features two windows and a raised brick bandcourse at the second-floor level, finished with a wood eaves-cornice. The history of Nos. 56 and 58 Artillery Lane spans centuries of occupancy and reconstruction. In the early 18th century, Matthew Herbert, a mercer, occupied No. 56, known as "the sign of the cat." Widow Fisher lived in a neighboring house, possibly No. 58. Thomas Wilkes, a citizen and weaver of London, held leases on several adjacent properties, including Nos. 54, 56, 58, 62, and 64 Artillery Lane, likely rebuilt in the early 18th century. John Furnes left these properties to family members in his will of 1720/1. The houses were continuously occupied, with various tenants and owners, undergoing renovations and lease transfers over the years. Around 1756–1757, significant renovations occurred, including the construction of new fronts for both houses and the insertion of a grand shop-front for No. 56, considered one of the finest mid-Georgian shop-fronts in London. The houses maintained their original plans, with spacious rooms across multiple floors and basements. The architectural details, including Doric columns, stone cornices, and intricate woodwork, exemplify the sensible and tasteful design prevalent in London’s smaller Georgian houses. Occupants of these properties over the years included merchants, weavers, grocers, and silk dressers, reflecting the changing commercial landscape of the area. The houses were home to various businesses, including shops, tea dealers, and cigar makers, before transitioning to residential use in the 20th century. Today, the houses stand as a testament to the enduring architectural and historical significance of Spitalfields.
