[George Hutchinson]

And guess who it was who you outbid with that outrageous overbid?

Still, if you got it then it's still ending up in the right place. Just not my place.

Horses were still used in the docklands

A picture from the dark days of the LVP? Tatty backs of dwellings, stretched washing, dirty walkways?

Oh no. This is Fieldgate Mansions (off of Fieldgate Street ) in 1974.

[Stephen Thomas]

Reversing an image of 27 Dorset Street and merging it with the original allows us to see what 26 and 27 together would probably have looked like.

[Limehouse]

That's a brilliant image Stephen. Thanks.

Screenshots from the Pet Shop Boys video 'West End Girls', 1986.

The first looks like Goulston Street (GSG doorway to the left), the second shows Niel Tennant with Wentworth Dwellings behind him.

The Pet Shop Boys, will be back in the limelight very soon, as it was announced today that they are getting a "Brit Award" for Outstanding Contributions to Music!!

Fave line from the song...."call the police, there's a mad man around"

So they shot their video for "West End Girls" in the East End? I always thought there was something odd about those guys...

Fear not, B. Most of the video is shot in the West End.

"East End boys and West End girls" as the song goes.

[George Hutchinson]

Some of the crappiest lyrics of all time and completely pointless :

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls...

Just what does that mean, exactly?

[The Grave Maurice]

Never mind what it means. It doesn't even rhyme. Where the hell is Cole Porter when you need him?
