65-68 Whitechapel High Street

The short uniform terrace at Nos 65–68 dates from 1853, when it was put up by James Brake, a Clerkenwell builder. Henry Crockford, a fishmonger at No. 65, and James Hunn, a greengrocer at No. 68, retained tenancies from before the rebuild. The early buildings the group replaced included a timber gable- fronted pair at Nos 67–68. Nos 65–68 were substantially refurbished and given new shopfronts in 2010–12 to plans by Julian Harrap Architects (Robert Sandford, job architect), with PAYE as contractors. The front walls of Nos 67-68 and all the stucco architraves and the cornice were renewed. The gambrel roofs are as original. This was the first part of the High Street 2012 project, ninety per cent funded from Tower Hamlets Council with English Heritage through a Heritage Lottery Fund Townscape Heritage grant. The project had been conceived when it was anticipated that the 2012 Olympics Marathon would pass by. 1
