Dukes Place, EC3A
Until his death in 1767, Daniel Nunes de Lara worked from his home in Dukes Street as a Pastry Cook. It was not until much later the street was renamed Dukes Place. Daniel and his family attended the nearby Bevis Marks synagogue for Sephardic Jews. The Ashkenazi Great Synagogue was established in Duke Street, which meant Daniel’s business perfectly situated for his occupation as it allowed him to cater for both congregations.

Some Brief Notes on Hawthorne Close / Hawthorne Street
My great-grandparents lived in the last house on the south side of Hawthorne Street, no 13, and my grandmother Alice Knopp and her brothers and sisters grew up there. Alice Knopp married Charles Flewers, from nearby Hayling Road, and moved to Richmond, Surrey, where I was born. Leonard Knopp married Esther Gutenberg and lived there until the street was demolished in the mid-1960s, moving on to Tottenham. Uncle Len worked in the fur trade, then ran a pet shop in, I think, the Kingsland Road.

From the back garden, one could see the almshouses in the Balls Pond Road. There was an ink factory at the end of the street, which I recall as rather malodorous.

6 Elia Street
When I was young I lived in 6 Elia Street. At the end of the garden there was a garage owned by Initial Laundries which ran from an access in Quick Street all the way up to the back of our garden. The fire exit to the garage was a window leading into our garden. 6 Elia Street was owned by Initial Laundry.

Edgware Road

Edgware Road station was a station on the world’s first underground railway.

The main Edgware Road station now serves the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines. It opened a few months later than other stops on the rest of the Metropolitan Railway between Paddington and Farringdon, opening on 1 October 1863.

A second Edgware Road station was opened on 15 June 1907 by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR, now the Bakerloo line) when it extended its line from the temporary northern terminus at Marylebone. In common with other early stations of the lines owned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, that station was designed by architect Leslie Green with an ox-blood red glazed terracotta façade.

The Yorkshire Stingo (1770) This was a simple rural pub in Marylebone (named after strong ale from God’s Own County) before the building of London’s first bypass, the New Road (later Marylebone Road and Euston Road). Once the pub was connected to London by road, business took off in a dramatic way. Pleasure gardens were built at the rear where some of Britain’s first balloonists demonstrated. The pub was one of the earliest places to use the term ’music hall’ for vaudeville and burlesque once its music hall here opened on 24 August 1835. Most notably for London history, during 1829 George Shillibeer started London’s first omnibus service in the capital between the Yorkshire Stingo and the Bank of England. The route took it down the New Road, City Road, Moorgate to the Bank. Shillibeer’s name is commemorated in the nearby Shillibeer Place. The ’Stingo’ is no more - demolished in 1964 to make way for the widening of Marylebone Road to cater for the Marylebone Flyover.
