My Great Grandmother, Mrs S Rosenthal, used to run the Frying Pan, in Brick Lane, Spitalfields.  The last time I was there, I remember seeing a huge frying pan attached to the outside wall and before it was the Sheraz it was an Indian Restaurant called the Frying Pan. I had never noticed the frying pans in the terracotta work just below the roof until seeing pictures of them today on the internet. *

My grandfather was Laurie Rosenthal, (Sarah's son) and he used to run the White Swan in Great Alie Street. His wife, Dora,  was famous around the East End for her lunches - she would make all types of deeply filled and delicious sandwiches and rolls, and every day she cooked something different in the tiny kitchen upstairs. Her steak and kidney pies were as famous as Betty's Hotpots from Corrie! As a child in the 1960s I used to stay there overnight occasionally (huge living quarters upstairs) and help make up the sandwiches and take them downstairs, and help my grandad washing up the glasses whilst standing on a chair to reach the sink behind the bar! Some of the customers used to put coppers in a Toby jug on the counter 'for the help'! *
