A total of 25 of them, each one depicting a different aspect of the Spitalfields area, were installed in 2017. I'm not sure how many remain. So far, I've found four of them.

Victorians decried this street Barbaric, they said, discordant. LOOK NOW The buildings stand the same. Minds and hearts change.
