Descrição: At its height in the early years of the 20th century, the Jewish population of east London was 125,000, and 60 Jewish master bakers were dotted around the capital - many in Whitechapel and Spitalfields, according to History in the Baking, a book about the area's only surviving Jewish family-owned bakery, Rinkoffs. A modest laminated sign suggested Beigel Shop was closed for maintenance - but the Evening Standard's courts correspondent reports that the building has been repossessed under a High Court notice. In my home suburb of Acton, we would go every weekend to the nearby "Lebanese shop" (again, it didn't seem to have a name) to pick up a stack of freshly baked lahmajun - crispy Arabic flatbreads topped with herby spiced mincemeat - which would serve as lunch with a squeeze of lemon and slices of tomato. 1 hope the "Little Beirut" of kebab joints and baklava wholesalers that bustles around Acton's industrial outskirts will survive the decades ahead, even if the clientele has changed. * My quiet moment of hyper-local heartbreak mirrors a wider decline
