Spitalfields: silk weavers and fine town houses.

Just behind London's Brick Lane is Spitalfields, a now well-preserved area of Georgian London. This programme explores what happened before the current gentrification as success waves of immigrants came into the area in the 18th and 19th centuries -- from Huguenot silk weavers to Jewish tailors. With Dan Cruickshank, Judith Millar and Juliet Morris (circa 2002). This private house is in Princlet Street.
