A BIT MORE AROUND LIVERPOOL STREET....

This is the kings store, in Widegate Street. It was rebuilt in 1902, therefore was standing here during that beautiful era of the Victorians. The lady above is Tracey!!!!!!!!!Another narrow passage, cool.... on the right hand side of the picture, you'll see a lady with a scarf, well this is my best friend... Yaz

White Hart Court, below

still in White Hart Court, all of the remaining pictures....

Whatever you do, DON'T STAND near the wall.... its disgusting!!!!

see the views?

ARTILLARY PASSAGE..... OR speechless me alley!!!!!!!

Ok she says, go in a little bit and take a picture, so i went that way....

And if your imagination can remove those two unsightly bins, i was in awe....

oh, imagine that cone off too!!!! is it not truly beautiful?

I loved the feeling, the door and the lot of this alley...

there must have been a gate somewhere, and that wood is victorian for sure

See Ashby's sign? Is it not old? and those store fronts? lovely

Here i took that picture, i took it for the lampost, then i realised while focusing of all the stores framing the alley... then Tracey pointed one Ripper fact. See that car park right at the back?... that's where Miller court stood in 1888... and on November 9th 1888, Mary Jane Kelly became the last victim of Jack the Ripper... could he have hidden in the shadows of the Passage?

Artillery Passage, Liverpool Street!!!!!

AROUND LIVERPOOL STREET MAGIC

Ah, the arcade.... ha!!! ha!!! speechless i was....

AROUND COMMERCIAL ROAD

Commercial Road

Just behind this building, in a yard in the rear, in autumn 1888, Elizabeth Stride was murdered by Jack the Ripper...

That ever so famous year in East London!!!!!!

Batty Street... E1

Davis' Terrace in Settles Street, 1890

This is Fordham Street, its a few streets away from the "Monster Doss" house, nowadays better known as Tower House

In and around Settles Street...

Parfett Street

Parfett Street E1

This is the alley between Victoria cottages, in Whitechapel. a long, gorgeous row of houses on each side, beautiful peace emanates from the place.... pure and simple victorian beauty.

Lost in the past.... or so i believed

That was probably the best ending of a walk back in history

This is the Sure start centre around WeaversField park...

POPLAR PART 1

this is poplar high street, early 20th century.... has it not changed? Chrisp Street Market again, early 20th century

Blackwall Yard, 1795

Entrance to the Blackwall Tunnel, 1899

EAST LONDON AND THE CLASSES....

Everyday we walk around East London and we don't realise what the aged buildings mean to our heritage....



Hester Hawes Alms houses.... 1920, building date unknown.

Poplar and Stepney workhouse,

Mile End Old Town Workhouse and infirmary, undated

Mile End Old Town Workhouse. Undated.

City of London Workhouse, 1819.

YORK SQUARE

This Public House seemed to bear no dates to it, but i have no doubt it is not a recent addition to Stepney's history!!!!!

York Square, seemed to have been a little more upmarket than the rest of Stepney so far, but still holds the charm of that grand past.

Stepney Meeting Church

This is the ruins of Stepney Meeting Church. It was bombed during the World War 2 and is now part of the Stepney Farm. It is situated in Garden Street, Stepney E1

The burial ground attached to its history can be found if you walk along or through the former burial ground around St Dunstan church, walk past the Mercer Cottages situated across the road from the Ground's gates. Walk further past the former pub, cross the road and you'll find yourself walking right next to the ground.
