Smithfields Market: its western extensions may be demolished to make way for more unthinking, computer-generated design. Photo: David Sillitoe Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov edited and printed issues 22 to 38 of Iskra (The Spark) from a tiny office at 37a Clerkenwell Green, London EC1, a building that looks, from a distance, like a Georgian doll s house.
