      Hi John,

      You might be right, there definitely were changes to the building especially to the rear. Perhaps there were just structural changes and not a complete rebuilding.

      This is the Goads from May 1890

      The length of number 18 has decreased in that time which mad me wonder if it had been demolished with the other buildings.

        Hi Rob,

        It's odd, but as well as the usual 1873, 1894 & 1914 versions, I've got large scale OS maps for 1938, 1949 and 1969 and the back of No18 looks a different shape in all of them! However, it seems that 18 and 18A were spared and that possibly bits were demolished off the back.

        What does it for me is the similarity of the shopfront in the film with the illustration from 1891. It's quite uncanny.

          Don't listen to him, Stephen !!!

          The local constabulary had been called to the scene of an alleged ghost sighting !!!

              Does anyone know where the Salvation Army hostel is/was, and where the scenes with the homeless drinking meths were filmed?

              Cheers

                The Salvation Army Home was on Whitechapel Road, between the current Booth House and what was the Foundation Grammar School.

                  Hi Mike,

                  Try these people. I use them quite a lot and they had some in stock a few minutes ago.

                      Hi Mike

                      Your wife might like the film. It's not all about Hanbury Street backyards. I remember seeing it in the 60s on the big screen at the Grimsby Film Society. There's some interesting footage shot inside the Camden Town Bedford Music Hall before it was demolished, where Sickert spent a lot of his time.

                        Indeed, Stephen - quite the contrary. The vast bulk of the film has nothing to do with JTR at all: there are a couple of minutes of James Mason in the Hanbury Street back-yard, and that's it. The rest of the film is a hybrid social history and architectural guided tour, charming and utterly fascinating.

                                In New York good writers are respected.

                                In Paris all writers are respected.

                                In London no writers are respected.

                                In Grimsby you have to explain what a writer is.
