Hi John,

It's the last entrance from Wentworth Street.

Some excellent photos there John, many thanks for posting them.

A few more here from my own collection taken over the past few years....


The setts in Mitre Square at night.


The original name of number 1 Mitre Square, revealed once more. Presumably this sign was covered over by the one most people are familiar with.


Inside Mitre Passage, looking up. A spooky looking location, even by daylight!


A side view of some of the metalwork of Christ Church, as seen from Fournier Street.


One of the old houses on Princelet Street

View of the Swiss Re building from the City Hotel on Osborn Street


A close up of the wash house on Old Castle Street


The former East London Line platforms at Whitechapel station looking north. The bridge carries Durward Street across the line.


A view of Christ Church taken from inside the rebuilt "modern" bit of the market.

All the best

That last one of ChristChurch is magnificent - need to go see that view for myself - been there many times and never seen it like that!

[Andrew Firth]

Thanks Adam! I should just mention though, that a few weeks after I'd taken that shot, I read somewhere on a photographers forum that there are some rather over zealous security guards, who aren't afraid to try and confiscate your camera, should they see you taking shots.

Probably due to "security concerns" or some such nonsense!

A word to the wise, Andrew.

Put your titles above your photos (without a space).

[Andrew Firth]

Stephen,



Will do! Thanks for the tip.

Last few photos for now....

Donovans Shop on Crispin Street at night


St Botolph's in Aldgate dwarfed by new developments in the surrounding streets.

The site (in the distance) of number 29 Hanbury Street as it appears nowadays, as seen from the Brick Lane end.


Woods Buildings at night in 2004, before it was closed off to the public.


The atmospheric Parliament Court off Artillery Passage.


All the best

[John Bennett]

Nice shots, Andrew. Wood's Buildings is open on one of them, so it must be going back a bit.

Talking of which...

Petticoat Lane looking north from Aldgate High Street (don't know the date).


Goulston Street from Brunswick Buildings, 1960.


Flower and Dean Street, 1977.


Princelet Street, 1979. Another one of those late-70s dustman's strike photos.

Observer - that's Suzi's favourite place!

Harry - That first one looks rather like Parliament Court. On the right, now almost totally faded and defaced, is the Banksy Ripper. Looks like the wall's been cleaned and it's all removed to me.
