Such sad pictures. I grew up on the East End and my father was a Kosher butcher. He worked for Maxie Strongwater in Old Montague Street. He made the best Vienna’s and SaltBeef ever.

Hi all.
This popped up in one of my Facebook history groups this morning. It's tagged as a picture of "Victorian Slums in London, 1890", but for a Victorian slum, it looks remarkably clean (and recently white washed) to me? The other features of the building seem off to me too, but it did cross my mind that it might be an old barn or storage shed that was being used to doss in.
All I've been able to establish so far is that the Guardian seem to use the picture frequently for pieces on housing. I'm going to keep poking around, but I was wondering if any of the very knowledgeable folk on this site have any insight into where in London this could be?

Hi all,
I thought this exhibition may be of interest to anyone in the London area.
I'd definitely be going if I didn't live so far away.
Plus it's always nice to give this excellent thread a run out....!Comment

Perhaps this was posted here before but this photo looks like a George Yard Buildings from behind - much better quality.
