Eleven and Eleven-and-a-half (Spitalfields, London)

While walking around Spitalfields in London, I spotted two beautiful doorways of the former silk weaver's houses, the multi-storey shuttered brick houses around the Spitalfields and Brick Lane area. The silk weavers were from France and those that moved did so because they were Protestants and were prosecuted in their own country. Knowing that many of these people were from a region in France that had skills in silk-weaving, they were welcomed to London. They settled in this area of London and worked from their homes. The houses here are beautiful. The numbers on the two doors: eleven and eleven-and-a-half.
