St George in East Index
The family decided that, having wide links with the large
Jewish community, who were living mainly in the East End, they would sell kosher
wines. During 1894, Arye Leib negotiated the purchase of a building site on the
corner of Commercial Road and Cannon Street Road, in the heart of the East End.
He invited a Mr. Lusk and his partner to join him in its development. On
completion of the buildings, L. Frumkin and Company (Wine Merchants), of 162
Commercial Road were formed. Later on (around 1907), the side portion of 162
Commercial Road was let to J.L. Fine J.P. as a Travel Agency.
In 1911 L. Frumkin and Company had become during these years, not just a
business, but also an institution. The corner of Commercial Road and Cannon
Street Road was known as Frumkins' Corner, the outstanding landmark of the area.
From 1926 onwards, Rachel Frumkin had complete charge of the counter, though at
busy times everyone helped. Her personality developed and she had a wonderful
memory for names and faces. By the end of the Second World War, Rachel, Elias
and Aaron had been joined at 162 Commercial Road by Elias' sons-in-law Wilfred
Goldberg and Rabbi Meyer Frydman. Rachel passed away in 1968 and the East End
branch closed in 1970. *
