What happened to The Princess Alice? Just walked past for first time in a couple months and its shut and inside its completely gutted....looked through the window...looks like a building site gone wrong.

Being rennovated Adam,

Greetings all , I recently posted this on ( Joseph Lawende's home ) thread, but I figured it could also do with being on here as well .. Thanks to family and friends I have just stumbled upon another photograph of Norfolk Rd ( Lawende's home ) This photo was taken almost directly opposite #45 ( Not quite sure what year ).. This is also my home street , quite a few years before I was born .. hope you find it of interest ..

Judging by the car in the photo and the lack of other cars, one would hazard a guess at some time in the early 1950's.

Re: the Sander Street photo, is that Backchurch Lane at the end or Berner Street?

Is that Stewart Evans sticking his head out the window?

Hope this works. This is a recent image of William Crossingham's house in Romford. The left semi is (was) no. 64.

It didn't! Will try again.

Robert,

Thanks for that, it's easier to access than my lame attempt.

For a while the building housed a Victorian School Museum. I walked past it every day on my way to work without realising the Crossingham connection.

Not sure what it is at the moment. Looks like offices of some sort. Next time I'm passing I'll knock on the door and find out.

Surprisingly humble for someone who apparently made so much money from the poor of Spitalfields.
