think your titles got a bit muddled towards the end there - but nice shots!

Cheers, don't know what happened there. All corrected now.

[Andrew Firth]

Excellent photos there Rob, many thanks for posting them.

At the risk of copying one of your shots; here's some railings in Wapping with the Canary Wharf development in the background.


One of my low level shots, this time of Winthrop Street


Osborn Street and Brick Lane at dusk, as seen from the City Hotel. The former Frying Pan pub is in the background.

A few more, (east end, rather than JtR related)....

Shad Thames. Used as a location in the 1980 film "The Elephant Man".


The southern entrance to Rotherhithe road tunnel at dawn.


Looking east from Limehouse DLR station, again at dawn.


Ratcliffe Lane in Limehouse.


Admittedly not in the East End, but included because it's just so atmospheric! Clink Street on the south bank.


All the best

Wonderful photographs chaps. How talented you photographers are. Rob, the one of the tulips surrounding the statue in Albert Gardens is so beautiful. And Andrew - I always enjoy your original way of capturing these locations. Thanks you both.

Atmospheric indeed, Andrew. Can you, or anyone, tell me whether that street was used as a backdrop in the Christopher Plummer/James Mason "Sherlock Holmes meets JTR" movie? It looks very familiar.

[John Bennett]

Gareth,

I do believe parts of the South Bank around there were used in that film. Some of the streets near the Golden Hind were featured before they were redeveloped, as well as Clink Street.

Clink Street from Murder by Decree, still the best Jack the Ripper movie.

[Sam Flynn]

I was right! Thanks, JB and Clacky

I love the pictures of 'The Dolphin' and 'the Frying Pan'...i can never get enough photos of the old pubs,thanks chaps.

[The English Gardener]

Rob, that IS the same view as Andrew's last, isn't it? Just shows how much has been done in the last 30 years and how little had been done prior to that....

[The Grave Maurice]

Corrrrrr. They're all very nice. One of these days I must get around to buying a camera.

[Andrew Firth]

That really is a great picture of how the street used to look. The building on the right is now the Clink Prison museum, which I have to say, goes down in my book as being the most disappointing London attraction I've ever been to!

£4 admission fee, to be let in to one small basement room with some information boards and a few rusty exhibits. It may have improved since I visited in 2000, but I doubt it!

A couple of shots here of Clink Street:

A close up of the railway arch


Looking east a bit further along the street, with the museums gruesome rotting corpse hanging up on the right to draw in the tourists....


All the best

A couple of photos of the old Aldgate East Station. Which was close to the corner with Goulston Street.


1897


and 1907, Goulston Street is just to the right where all the posters are. The Aldgate Exchange now stands on that site.
