East End Photographs and Drawings

Is there somewhere on the site where we could have these Goad Fire maps posted, at least for the murder sites and other relevant areas? I am not sure what year these are from (1938?) but they are much more detailed than other maps I have seen..

Hi all-
Just found two interesting engravings of White's Row and Petticoat Lane market- Have posted them on the Suzi Individual Forums section over on Forums. I've never seen them before, would be interested to see if anyone else has.

Fantastic pictures Rob, thanks for sharing. Is that a young man hiding under some sort of tarpaulin on the Whitechapel High street 1903 shot?

Can you point me in the direction of such pics? (please)

Is it me, or do the wheels on the wagon to the left in Holt's Yard look like they're about to fall off?

They do look a little on the uneasy side, but look at the windows! Wonder why there was never a double glazing firm set up back then! They would be coining it in!

Hi Rob
Love the scurrying creature in the High St pic too and that carriage yard is to die for!!!
