  • Some photos I took yesterday. I gave my new camera a bit of a workout so it was a bit hit and miss.

    I first went to Tower Hamlets Cemetery to see if I could find where Catherine Mylett was buried. Didn't have much luck but I narrowed it down to this area (hopefully I did have the right area).

    Doctor Llewellyn was buried in the same cemetery. This is the family monument (the one on the left).

      Interesting in the spec to see Lady Trace Emin lives round the corner!!! (!!!???) Sure she'd be delighted!

      Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm estate agent characters- get that hound sorted out!!

      Lovely pics Rob- A LOT of Llewellyns on that grave stone!

        If they charged by the letter, I'll bet the stonemasons were sad when the dynasty died out!

                    That's odd, Suzi. I got mine from East Side Bookhop in Brick Lane for £3.95.

                      And this was on the back of the last one. And it's Cable Street not Mark Lane.

                        • Just a couple of shots from last months wander around the east end....

                          A general view of Pinchin Street with the "oh so tasteful" blue lights on the viaduct. Still not sure why they've put TV screens in the windows of the arch we're all interested in?
