Spitalfields was probably most famous for being the area where the silk industry was established. This was done by French Protestant refugees who were called Huguenots. They settled in the Spitalfields area in 1685, after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Their reasoning for settling outside the bounds of the city of London at that time, was to avoid the restrictive legislation of the City Guilds. The Huguenots were very poor and had little except their skills, but in April 1687 £200,000 was raised to relieve their poverty and at that time it was thought that there were in excess of 13,000 French refugees who were mainly settled in and around Spitalfields, although some were in Whitechapel, Mile End, New Town, Shoreditch and Bethnal Green. During the late 17th and 18th centuries a number of impressive terraced houses were built, these were to be the homes of the master weavers that were controlling the silk industry. Later grander urban mansions were built around what was then the newly created Spital Square. The Huguenots built ten of their own chapels in the area. The majority of the lowlier weaver's homes were situated in the Tenterground.
After the decline in the Irish linen industry, many Irish weavers came to Spitalfields to work in the silk trade but during the 18th century this also fell into decline due to the import of French silk. The result of the decline in the silk industry led to the Spitalfield Riots in 1769 and the outcome of these riots resulted in the hanging of two weavers, one Irish and one Huguenot, they were publicly hanged in front of the Salmon and Ball public house in Bethnal Green. Eventually any incentives to pay higher wages during the good times was removed and when the industry went through its bad times there was simply no work for the weavers and this resulted in the majority of the silk manufacturing to be moved to the country. The Victorian times saw the silk industry enter a major decline and most of the old merchant homes were left to degenerate and became multi-occupied slums and this is when Spitalfield gained its reputation as a slum area and the London cholera epidemic was a true threat to the inhabitants of Spitalfields.
Modern day Spitalfields portrays a different picture again as during the late 20th century the Jewish presence in the area declined and it was replaced by the flow of Bangladeshi immigrants moving into the area. These also worked in the local textile industry as well as making Brick Lane the curry capital of London. When you visit the area you will find excellent quality Indian restaurants in abundance, you will really be spoilt for choice.
