Middleton Arms, 38 Norton Folgate, Spitalfields - circa 1900 to 1912

No.35-36 Norton Folgate was Central Rubber and Cycle Accessories , and then occupied by Fox & Co., wholesale clothiers (1917). No. 37 Norton Folgate was the butchers of Baker, Joseph & Sons (from at least 1901 - at least 1911). In 1917, occupied by Fox & Co., wholesale clothiers. No. 38 Norton Folgate was the Middleton Arms.
The building which housed numbers 35,36 and 37 Norton Folgate were still there in 1973 but had gone by 1998. My interest is in No. 37, as the Baker family were my descendent.The photo is primarily of the Butcher shop, but the pub and cycle company are clearly visible. I am guessing the photo was taken about 1900-1912, certainly prior to World War 1. *
