    By far this is my very favourite thread...I only wish I had something more than words to contribute to it.
    To see these evocative photo's of existing buildings and those long gone, goes a long way to help us who've never been to London get a firmer picture of what life was like (and still is for some) it seems.

      I definitely like the idea about the object being a photo tray below the window in Miller's Court. In hindsight, it makes perfect sense, and if that is what it is, then the photographer just simply forgot to remove it before he took the shot (or just didn't think about it - taking crime scene photographs were quite unheard of in those days, while we today have very strict rules for that sort of thing).

      Of course it is difficult to know for sure, but the 'photo tray' is the best explanation I have heard so far.

      All the best

        Good morning all, I am happy to see this thread still going strong.

        Here is one for all the locals in the area.

        This is Lupton's Corn-Chandlers Shop at 94 Burdett Road, Mile End.
        A-Does anyone have any pics of this area from the period?
        B-Does anyone have any pics of the area now?
        C-Does anyone know how close this was to the Burdett Cottage?

        Thanks Mike

          For your delectation, ladies and gentlemen.

          Some of my personal faves, quite rare too, many of them. These are Durward Street and aroundabouts.

              Wow!

              Yeah, just wow.

              That Gunthorpe angle was a whole new one on me. Were it not for the shop on the right I wouldn't recognise it at all. What a loss of that building on the left.

                      In the loo, I guess.

                      Seriously, though, these images were posted on the threads ages back and then languished in the Photo Archive. Phil and Rob's book is-jam packed with pics, many of which are far rarer than these (Whitby Collection anyone?)

                      These all come from the Tower Hamlets Archive, but I guess there was only so many the chaps could squeeze into the book.

                          I also had the pleasure (if that's the word) of going on one of Philips tours. Seriously though I was quite impressed with the amount of info Philip gave and how enjoyable it was. Just don't expect any sympathy if you fall over and twist your ankle.

                            Looks like Phil is making an apperance on crackerjack..I have it from a reliable source that the tour guide used my fridge quote again, goddamit, I should start charging!

                            Great shots Rob. Especially Spital st.

                              PS Great shots Rob. And always good to see Phil at work, surrounded by admiring ladies - as usual. It's a hard life!

                              • Rob,

                                I forgot to ask, did you note if the arches in Pinchin Street were numbered?

                                I swear I read it in some report somewhere.....then again, maybe Ive been reading Pope of locksley.

                                Cheers

                                PS John....You fill up my seeeeeenses....great stuff.

                                PPS Phil n the ladies. Its the John Travolta moves he puts in. Transfixed arent they?
