East End Photographs and Drawings

[tnb]

In my opinion the most glaring error on the White Hart signs is on the one inside, where it states that Tabram 'may well have had her last drink' in there three days before her murder; I think it is pretty likely from the surviving character references that there were a few other drinks in the intervening days!

Took a Jack The Ripper walk last week. I'm not a pro and I don't charge, usually do it for work outings and friends and family. Good night out and I had 24 in my group last week, I'm quite good at orating, so they say, anyway, this picture is another view of Gunthorpe Street, taken on my pal's iPhone, I do like this one, especially that figure in the distance. This was taken on Friday 12th November, chucking it down with rain as well!

Nice shot. I think I'll sell all my cameras and buy an iPhone.

[Laurie]

Great pic!! I have to admit that the figure at the end of the alley there is rather creepy, which adds a nice touch to the subject.

I agree with you, Grave Maurice, about the I Phone, although I do want to tell you that your pics are always awesome and I do look forward to them on the thread.

[The Grave Maurice]

That's very kind of you, Laurie, but you seem to have confused me with someone who actually has talent.

Visited William Blakes grave in Bunhill Cemetery by Old Street Tube Station, and went on to see the altered Ten Bells...

A few shots from my more recent wanderings around Whitechapel and Spitalfields.

The view from the Minories car park. Royal Mint Street is to the right, with the lines from Fenchurch Street to the left, and the DLR branch from Bank in the middle. The first bricked up archway on the left is the former Swallow Gardens.

Thank you Adam for the picture of William Blake's resting place. Blake was a wonderfully talented man and is an inspiration to me.

Andrew - those are really beautiful photographs - as usual! Thank you - all of you people who make this thread so enjoyable with your photographs. Looking at them makes me long to live in London again - just to step outside the door and into civilization and culture instead of the endless - endless sky-meets-earth-and-smothers-you Fens.

No disrespect to the Fens but they are particularly glum and depressing at this time of year.

[The Grave Maurice]

Andrew, I don't think there's anyone who does night shots better than you do.

Whooooah, what an absolutely fantastic photo, Andrew. Thanks.

[Andrew Firth]

Thanks GM and Stephen! Providing the winter weather doesn't put paid to my plans, I should have some new night shots to post here, towards the end of the week.

All the best
Andrew

[Andrew Firth]

Well, sadly there were no opportunities for night photography this week. The biting Siberian winds whipping through the east end put paid to that plan. I did however manage to take a few pictures of the Ten Bells and Christ Church Spitalfields in the snow, the following day...






All the best

Beautiful as always, Andrew and company. This has to be one of the best collections of photos there is, going all the way back to the beginning of the thread.
