104-106 Whitechapel Road
Contributed by Survey of London on April 19, 2018
There were three-storey nineteenth-century buildings here, that at No. 104 of the mid 1830s and first occupied by Jeremiah Holloway, a chair-maker, that at No. 106 somewhat later and by 1880 occupied by Abraham Mordecai, a cigar manufacturer. They were damaged in the Blitz and rebuilding for Mark Marks & Co. Ltd, wholesale grocers, was begun in 1951–2 when a single-storey building extending back to Vine Court went up to designs by Norton, Trist & Gilbert, architects, with R. J. Adams Ltd as builders. The two upper storeys of an intended grocery warehouse were never built.1
