East End Photographs and Drawings

[m_w_r]

I'm particularly interested in the Grey Eagle Street photograph - some of my ancestors, named Laskey, lived at No.35 in the 1860s or 70s.

John, help me orientate myself with this photo, please. Are we looking north or south? I had ancestors living at number 31 in 1857.

Hi Mark,

If I've got my bearings right we are looking North. The junction at the end is Quaker Street.

Hi Suzi,

Did you get my new e-mail addy?

Just been checking the 1957 Berner Street pic. The first 3 storey building on the left is still standing. Here it is, and almost taken from the same spot as the old one.

Hi Cel,

Winthrop Street was the next street south off Durward Street (Eastern end) only a short section of it by the board school exists anymore.

All the best

Hi Rob,

Thanks. I just meant it was in the general area. I should have been more specific.

This has got to be my favourite thread on casebook. I love these photos.

Yeah, you get a real sense of the atmosphere, which is what draws a lot of people to the subject in the first place.

Nearly forgot these. A couple of Angel Alley. As far as I can tell these were there in 1888



The building with red window frames was also probably there in 1888

That dark base in the first Angel Alley shot is where I start all my Ripper tours (after meeting the group in front of the tube station).

Fantastic pics all...many thanks to all who contribute here. It's opens up a brand new world for us who've not yet had the chance to see the sights in person.
