Poplar and Stepney Asylum

Anyone else notice the Bloke behind the walls seems to have an oversize head in comparison to the others in front of the wall? And he is either standing on something or is alot taller too.

Could this be a previously unknown incarceration of the 6ft 7in Joseph Fleming...???

Maybe it's a ghost!!!!

Thats what I thought, spooky.
At least hes looking straight at the camera.

Hmmm, I was hoping to post an image here, but I seem to be unable to post- I keep being told that my image exceeds my quota, even though it's well under the limit for filesize. Do I have to get special permissions for posting images? Sorry for the question, I'm pretty new here!

Seems to have been demolished.............Hennesys - shut - Princess Alice? dead and rather bland.........Kings Stores? shut - Mitre Square? Empty except for one guy sitting on the bench next to the murder spot.........total fail. guess its better going on a week day.

Hi Adam,

The Alma is still there or at least it was in August 2008.
It's now The LOndon Music School.

Hopefully this image will post- I've been having some trouble!

Anyhow, after Robert Clack's wonderfully clear image of The Brittania from post #2335, here's what I've found of Brittania as depicted by the Penny Illustrated from Nov 17, 1888- interesting to note the fact that it seems to display itself as 'Ringer's' rather than 'The Britannia.
