Hi Rob, Harry in post 703 was a pleasant-looking young man, wasn't he? In spite of the fact that he may have known some of the Kosminski/Abraham bunch.

Best,

Cel

Hi Cel,

That's assuming I have the right person which is debatable.

All the best

Nice pictures Rob, The gent at the far right of the Aldgate pump, looks a little out of place! Very upmarket compared to the flat cap wearing gents!

The buildings on Dock Street are amazing, the crowd look like toy soliders next to the huge imposing buildings.

Hmm, wait a minute. Top hat. Bow tie. Nice whistle. Is there a medical bag anywhere in sight? Not that this sort of chap would have stood out, of course

Great photos...thanks for sharing these

I kept wondering how Rob got that, heretofore, unknown picture of Lincoln's ghost! :-)

And what's with the dude with one-foot-on and one-foot-off the curb---er---kerb?

Nice pictures, Rob, Jake, et al. As usual.

Bestest,

...I note that you've cropped the photo so we can't see Billie Whitelaw keeping an eye on you from the ground-floor window.

Tee Hee, veeery good, Rob, very good indeed.

And you know what, folks? He hasn't changed much.

P.S. Your house could have done with a lick of paint, mind.
