Is that sign actually engraved in the stone??

...or is it carved into an inset wooden panel?

Not sure. I'll have to go and have a look tomorrow morning. Let you know what I find out.

Bucks Row Map 1873

Hi All,

In the Photo Archive is an 1873 map of Bucks Row.

Does anyone have a higher-res version?

Many thanks.

Regards,

Simon

Hi Simon

The 1873 Godfrey edition is readily available extremely cheaply to order online or in the shops. However, if there is a specific area you're keen on seeing let me know the limits of it and I'll scan it in for you and e-mail it if you PM me your address.

I am afraid that the remains have been knocked down. I thought their survival was likely to be only temporary. The material into which the words were cut was, I think, stone - but I suppose there is no way of knowing now for sure.

Shame.

Thanks for checking, Mark.

Photographing London and the War on Terror

Hi all,

This morning I read a story about a guy whose camera was confiscated by the police when he attempted to photograph Spitalfields Market.

Read the tale here:

Apparently, its now take photographs at your own risk. Sad.

The old Goods Depot on Gunthorpe Street undergoing conversion, c1986.


And College Buildings, Wentworth Street, as seen from the rear of George Yd Buildings. Date unknown, but definitely pre-1972.

Must be something up with my PC, Mark. All I see is an extremely dim image and a web icon on the right telling me it's prohibited.
