Description: | Jack Lee (b 1918) grew up in Spitalfields in the 1920s and 1930s. Here, in conversation with Mary Richards of Bishopsgate Institute, he recalls his home and family life, and his work at Simpson of Piccadilly. In particular, he describes the layout of his family?s home in Sandys Row, Spitalfields. He then goes on to describe his siblings and their employment in transport, retail, and the rag trade. He then describes his employment at Simpson of Piccadilly. This was a men's clothing store opened in 1936 when the company relocated from Stoke Newington. As Mr Lee recalls, it was patronised by the rich and famous. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | work Youth Culture and Fashion Home and Family | Temporal: | 2008 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
