I noticed all the watch, clock and battery shops, whilst on my way around!

Here is an intresting story and some great pictures of a proposed "Outdoor, surfing, swimming and beach thing".....in the East End of London, Silverton Quays!!

Some more NOW shots
Whites Row Car park on the corner of what was Dorset Street (and some wayward woman!)

The wonderful Katz shop practically unchanged.....well apart from the pink neon lamb!

The Sheraz-Formerly The Frying Pan.Yes Open can be a slight anathema!!

The ultimate in graffiti....and outside Mr Schwartz's premises too!

[Suzi]

Blimey Mike!!! whatever next....The Victoria Home (and Away)!

[Suzi]

Mary's grave at Leytonstone

The Ten Bells with some rather dodgy looking catalogue extras making a break for it!.....and it looks like reinforcements coming in to the right!!

[Suzi]

We all know where this is.....but OMG am being watched!!! (It's that ghost again!)

Suzi, on the Whites Row Car Park picture, just what is the hooded kid doing to the lampost?

Looks like he is nutting it!

No wonder I couldn't find a bin in London, they all have legs!!
In the same shot you can make out your reflection in the doorway next to the big "40", then in the other window there is a white van with a guy watching you!!!!

Thanks for the great picture Suzi, wasn't what I'd expected,somehow!

[Mike Covell]

It's pretty depressing really, and such a shame to be losing a part of the heritage of the area.

In Hull anything with historical value is destroyed immediatly to make way for "Iconic" structures like over priced flats and shopping centres no one shops in!

Polly Nathan's Fried Fish Shop

Here is an old postcard of Petticoat Lane and Nathan's Fish
Shop. I couldn't get the whole picture in because I couldn't get it small enough. I can't tell if this is a drawing, a photo, or a little of both. This is a different angle from a lot of the pictures I've seen, which is the reason I bought this card.

Looks like a painting but wasn't it common for paintings to be touched up?

My son reckons he can see a "Turtle" he is 4 and has been watching the animated version of the movie earlier.

I am now in the mood for some Fish N Chips!
