Little Princelet St? I was actually on Princelet St earlier looking for it but didn't see it. Am I blind, muddled or both?

I'm claiming no repeat as it's round the other side from the last one that was taken near by. Now I better get going or I'll be late for the football (which would be ironic).
Wrongcog, you even said Hanbury St area? How did you miss it?

I know! I sussed the architecture but just didn't see that thing hanging down as I rode along (that's what I was looking for). What a numpty. Could've been my first tag too.

Hurrah! As Skydancer says, it's a Museum of Immigration. Originally a Huguenot weavers house - hence the attic with big windows, and the wooden spindle hanging outside. Then in the 19th century it became a synagogue - still visible at the back and also - I was told - why it has double doors. Then I think it was school for girls some time in the 20th century.
I think you can only visit by appointment - it's falling down inside, but fascinating to see remnants of its various incarnations.
Sorry - slipped into history bore mode again.

It was the weavers that lead Mrs MrDrem to it, having flirted with another building round that way first

Politeness prevents me from naming the Essex backwater whose residents would most wish to avoid name tagging...
Poor skydancer, who was good enough to confirm to me that he had the tag, and save me from a ten mile trip North.
