              Old photos, especially ones of this quality, are my favourite thing about this website. Thanks again, Garry. Your work is much appreciated.

                      Astonishing how clean the streets look in all the pics.

                      I agree with G M, the old photo's are, like icing on the cake.

                          Hello Gary,

                          I can't say this enough, these images are fantastic. Keep up the great work
                          Washington Irving:

                          "To a homeless man, who has no spot on this wide world which he can truly call his own, there is a momentary feeling of something like independence and territorial consequence, when, after a weary day's travel, he kicks off his boots, thrusts his feet into slippers, and stretches himself before an inn fire. Let the world without go as it may; let kingdoms rise and fall, so long as he has the wherewithal to pay his bills, he is, for the time being, the very monarch of all he surveys. The arm chair in his throne; the poker his sceptre, and the little parlour of some twelve feet square, his undisputed empire. "

                          Stratford-on-Avon

                            From the same timeframe, here's the Goulston Street doorway in which the killer discarded Kate Eddowes' apron remnant. To my mind, it is certainly interesting that he elected to enter the vestibule rather than simply toss the piece of cloth into the basement area as he passed by. It would seem, therefore, that some other consideration drew him into the doorway.

                                Excuse me for bringing this up Garry. This block of Wentworth Dwellings was four units long. Your photo appears to show the last unit (4th). The doorway to 108-119 was the 2nd unit down from Wentworth St.


                                Here is a c.1907 shot of Goulston St., on Pettycoat Lane Market day.
                                I can't remember who originally posted this but the doorway in the centre of the pic is the 2nd doorway from the left. This is supposed to be the GSG doorway.
