All along Brick Lane and its tributary turnings, doors opened on to corridors which led up to top flats and back rooms, the apparently impenetrable domain of migrant Spitalfields. Often several bells clustered around a single front door announcing multiple occupancy, a tangle of circumstance. Proprietorship of businesses seemed constantly to shift between relatives. And as shops changed owners and names, the old fronts were often just painted or boarded over, with past lives being obscured beneath the most recently painted façade. Indeed, this had been the pattern for years. On Brick Lane one immigrant history hid behind another--Huguenot, Irish, Jewish, Maltese, Bengali--each making its own contribution to the overall cultural patina of the area.
