Jews arrrive in 1880s

Excellent article. Thank you! I just stumbled on an 1815 book http://books.google.com/books?id=_CdJAAAAMAAJ called, (ugly cut and paste): THE BEAUTIES of England and Wales OR, DELINEAT1ONS, TOPOORAPHtCAL, HtSTORtCAL, AXD DESCRtPTtVE, OF EACH COUNTY EMBELLISHED WITH ENGRAVtNGS. RT THE REV. JOSEPH NIGHTINGALE. VOL. X. Part III.

Around Page 151 is a description of Petticoat Lane. It seems in every other sentence is expressed disgust of how the place had gone to the Jews. Permaps the sentence in the wikipedia article could be revised to say that the 1880s immigration was an extension of an earlier migration or whatever turns out to be the case.

Thanks again to all who have put this together.
