I love that Puma Court picture, Chris. Can I ask where you found it? I don't suppose it's out of copyright...
In all seriousness I do need to start picking people's brains about out of copyright pictures and maps for my documentary sometime soon, but there is, as they say, a time and place for everything.
The Prospect of Whitby, by the way, is definitively in Shadwell. However a lot of people believe anything south of the (Ratcliff) Highway to be Wapping, unofficially.

Hello Chris,
Many thanks again. Interesting photo. The "window" centre, top of picture, left hand side of alleyway... is it a window?
Reminds me of one of those old pub signs.
best wishes

On the facing page, the Parlours have the classic shot of Dorset Street which, they say, is facing west toward the Providence Row Refuge, instead of east toward Commercial Street, so I wouldn't put a lot of faith in their knowledge of photographs. Besides, it doesn't even look like Miller's Court.

Hello Mike,
I didn't like to judge on first thought, but admit that this is my view as well. The "Inn sign"/window made me wonder infact, and the length of the "open" area in the alleyway seemed different than the Miller's Court. I would like to know the origin of this photo.
best wishes
