ICON Ethnography Group Ethno Crawl
Sunday 27 June 2010
Dennis Severs House, East London
11:30-11:45 am

The Ethno Crawl is back, and as a special treat for our ethnography
group members, we are making this a free event.  (See below for more
details.)

The Ethno Crawl has returned to London this summer in a very unique
setting--Brick Lane (London).  Please join our group as we visit two
ethnographic hideaways in the heart of East London.  Our first stop
will bring us to Dennis Severs House, a time capsule emulating life
in the early 18th century which has been described as 'stepping into
a painting: one with a time and life of its own'.  From there we
will venture around the corner to Sheba Brick Lane Indian cuisine to
feast on Tandoori and Balti cuisine.  We will finish the crawl with
a rare opportunity to visit 19 Princelet Street, a Grade II listed
building too fragile for regular public visits.  Here we will see a
place that has lived many lives including a Huguenot silk weaver's
home and a hidden Victorian synagogue.  Our visit will provide a
much needed donation to aid in the conservation and restoration of
this building so that it can be sustained for future generations.

Finally, if you're not too exhausted from the day's busy schedule
you can stay in Brick Lane to marvel at the free open markets
selling everything from vintage clothing and jewellery to all sorts
of bric-a-brac.

Note:  Lunch is not included.  This event is only open to
Ethnography Group members and space is limited to 25 people.
