    • Nicholas,

      Here's an image from the corner of Winthrop Street looking south. Can't quite see your place, but I thought it might be of interest.

        Avvie,
        Your 3rd photograph captioned "Old London, circa 1870, photographer unknown", is in fact a photograph of Glasgow.
        The photograph was taken by a famous Glasgow photographer Thomas Annan.

          • Hello, I'm a newcomer and have enjoyed reading the threads on this forum immensely and finally joined up. Here's a photo of Father Christmas trying to break in to the corner shop on Crispin Street, Spitalfields in 2013:

              • Looks like the Ten Bells attachment didn't work. Don't know why, so trying again. This is the back of the pub:

                The big plant is a banana plant as the building had been a banana warehouse, called David Kira Banana Merchants, Fournier Street.

                  Is that a banana plant? If so, you can be forgiven for that minor slip-up

                              This might possibly be the Harry who was listed in the 1964 voting register. I think he'd been there since at least 1954. His middle name may have been 'Lewis' and he may have owned a second home elsewhere in London.
                              Thank you for this, I'll look into it further
