    What makes you say "late '60s"? History of acquisition? Quality of photo?[/QUOTE]

    Really just that it appears to be derelict, so somewhere in that window between "The London no one knows" and it being knocked down. Other than that, ?
    Still, a good find from Christian, the tatty book hoarder.

    How certain is the identification with 29 Hanbury? Several writers have indicted that the houses in the area were pretty much cut from the same mold.

    The steps are quite recognizable from other pictures; the same portion of light color to the upper right of the top step, the same chipped away portions to the upper left part of it, plus many other things like the hole in the wall to the left of the door and so on. It is 29 Hanbury Street alright, there can be no doubt about it.

    That's a great point, you can see right through. I'm guessing at some point a partition wall was knocked out.
    Good point about portion wall must be pre demolition 19970 perhaps? Great image though

    The door also swings inward.

    Hi Christian,
    Interesting find, can't say I've seen it myself but it's hard to tell, they do look a bit "samey".
    Where did you find it if you don't mind my asking?
    Hi just found it browsing on web I’ve never seen it reason being you can see clearly through the window to Hanbury Street I have a album full of photos I’ve collected over last 30 years so have seen or got copies of pretty much everything
