Description: | Jil Cove was born in Brighton and trained as a nurse from 1957 to 1960. She first came to London in 1960 to train in midwifery at the London Hospital, Whitechapel. Here, in conversation with Stefan Dickers of Bishopsgate Institute, she recalls the development of Spitalfields in the 1980s and 1990s. By the late 1970s, Spitalfields had a reputation as a decaying urban wasteland. In common with much of the rest of the East End, large amounts of money were invested in various development projects. Much of this money in Spitalfields was spent on the "City Fringe," a development viewed by some as an encroachment by the City into the East End. Ms Cove describes some of the local hostility to these developments. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Environment Communities Power and Politics Cityscape | Temporal: | 2008 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
