unusual facts about Grub Street


Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi

The original "excessively voluminous" version was apparently not good enough for publication, and in early 1837 he signed a contract with a collaborator, the obscure Grub Street writer Thomas Egerton Wilks, to "rewrite, revise, and correct" the manuscript.


Eliza Macauley

The late 1820s found her preaching from the pulpit of a little ‘Jacobinical’ chapel in Grub Street, and from there she moved to the platforms of Owenite co-operation, becoming, in her own words, a ‘good Co-operative woman’.
