Hi Suzi

The window openings of the Providence Row Night Refuge in Crispin Street, as shown in the below view by Ivor Edwards, are either a bit more Gothic and with white surrounds to the arches with the windows grouped in twos. So I think that is definitely not the Refuge in the pic you posted, as much as wishful thinking might try to make it so! smile

I just wondered whether the building above could be what was once a Huguenot Church, then a synagogue, now a mosque? It stands at the Brick Lane end of what was Church Street.
Similarity with the top windows on the picture I took.Huguenot church

Chris, it would have to be wishful thinking, due to the archways on the windows, however, there is every good reason to believe it is close by, I think...
But have you ever seen such an enormous nightie! certainly Not one of Albert Edward's lovers, I would conclude...

Hi Suzi,

thanks for the picture... are you interested in any pictures of the Night Shelter in Crispin Street? If so, just drop me a line... i own a few (at least two) from the 1950/60's.


All the best...
