Description: | Even in the period just before the Second World War, many houses in the poorer parts of Stepney still had little in the way of interior plumbing. In this painting, Rose Henriques depicts women washing laundry in the backyards of their Berner Street houses.
Berner Street was later renamed Henriques Street, to honour the contribution Rose and her husband Basil made to the Jewish community. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Maurice Davis | Subjects: | Communities Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1930 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
