    • Stephen -

      The left picture is the junction of Durward Street and Brady Street, with the Roebuck pub on the left and the Brown & Eagle wool warehouses to the right.

      The right picture is Durward Street looking towards Brady Street.

              I'm a postcard collector so I wouldn't mind obtaining a copy of that old postcard, with so much life in it. Love the big painted sign on the pub wall. Very fine. Suzi, I hate to contradict you but I don't think that wagon is proceeding at speed. As far as I can tell the wagon is just turning the corner, not necessarily doing so at any speed.

                • wow i've spent all day on and off looking through this thread. There are some simply amazing pics, some have made me quite tearful looking at the lives people were leading, the girl with one shoe and the matchbox maker being evicted brought me to tears.

                  Some of the more modern photographs are simply stunning and atmospheric.

                  Theres a book by a midwife who worked in the eastend in the 1950's that has a couple of old pics of the area/people that i havent seen in here that i'll try to scan and post asap

                  Thanks for sharing these pics they really are fantastic and i LOVE this site!! Its so holistic and theres so much knowledge on these pages its really great.

                    • Great stuff, Rob. Two things that jump out - how tiny those kids were in the pump shot, knowing where the wolf (?) head is today and secondly - wondering about the Aldgate High Street shot; can't work it at all. Is that the Hoop & Grapes on the left and does that mean the White Swan is shown?

                      Seeing these shots really shows you there was just so damn MUCH of it.

                      • Hi Philip,

                        I think the water shrunk them

                        Yes and no. Yes it does show the hoop and Grapes and I think you'll find The White Swan was Whitechapel High Street.

                        Here's another one of Aldgate High Street from slightly higher up.

                          • Thanks Observer. It's practically unchanged. The pub is still in business if I remember correctly (The Brown Bear).

                            Regards

                            Rob

                            P.S. I love 35mm and slide film. It's the only way to take a photo but impractical and expensive if you take loads of photos and upload them onto a computer.

                            • Cheers Rob.

                              Duh. Of course. I say the White Swan was on WHS every time I give a tour, so why I was thinking it could be west of the Hoop & Grapes on AHS is beyond me. It was late. I was tired.

                                They're miniscule! Though I thought the one on the right using the pump was a dwarf at first. o_O
