Free FreeTalk by Petra Laidlaw
Long before the great influxes at the end of the 19th century, London already had one of the biggest Jewish populations in the world.
This talk will focus on those living throughout London in 1851 – who they were, where they were, where they’d come from and where they were bound. They could be found in almost all walks of life – from beggars to bankers and pretty well anything in between.
Their story of immigration, settlement and integration is one that still resonates today. One of the attractions of London – like today – was probably the huge range of opportunities on offer.
Petra is the author of the The Jewish Communities of Islington, 1730s-1880s, published by the Islington Archaeology & History Society.
