  • That's a strange photo, Paddy.

    What on earth is going on there?

      I aint saying a word..

      Philip, you are right. I was out a tad. My aim was though, to point out the narrowness of the passage.

      Cheers

      • I suspect Paddy's photo shows a Victorian attempt to build a particle accelerator to turn fecal matter into anti-matter.

            Hi Stephen,

            I'm sure this image has been seen on this thread before, and I remember some discussion ensuing about the tall structure which the man is standing inside. Unfortunately I can't remember the outcome of the discussion: I seem to have taken away the mistaken impression that it was a beehive, which hardly goes very far towards explaining why there is a man standing inside it. I'm sure someone will enlighten us.

            Regards,

            Mark

            • It could be a massive Victorian old-lady-boot. The sort they put both feet into.

              Just had a very long phone call from a woman born in Artillery Lane in the 60s who is going through family photos and is finding what she thinks is shots of the area in the 1920s and beyond. Watch this space.

                • Looks more like a small child Suzi!

                  It looks like a very early "Human Cannon Ball", as used by Robert D'Onston Stephenson to fly over the London Hospital gates!

                                Hii Mike and all, sorry, here is the complete description:

                                Photograph: Back-to-back yards of workers' homes in Spitalfields - Producer: Galt, John - Date: 1900-1907
                                John Galt's photo of back-to-back yards of workers' homes shows how close to each other the labouring-class families lived. Nevertheless Galt has chosen to see the dwellings in an airy and open light, rather than focus on the dark and cramped aspects. There is a pigeon loft in the centre of the picture, and a missionary to the bottom right. Galt was a missionary with the London City Mission.

                                And it appears this same missionary appears in two more John Galt photos from the same era up at the Caledonia Cattle Yards.
