Dear Steven Harris, I have just seen your comment on my photograph, ” … is my cousin Jackie … “. I would very much appreciate you getting in touch with me please, I am easy to find on the internet. I would like to be able to add your cousins name to the picture caption on my website and clarify if these building were indeed part of the Peabody estate. Perhaps the Gentle Author would pass this message on to you.

Many thanks.

Homer Sykes.

The fourth picture is of great eastern buildings. The girl looking out of the window is my cousin, Jackie. Its around 1970-72.
If anyone knows of people who lived there during the 60s I would love to hear from you. I am writing a piece on life in the buildings.

We are not allowed to place our email addresses here but if you respond to this message, maybe the gentle author will put us in touch?

Thanks

Wonderful shots and history. Love mono as I am the same and love street photography, it can be dodgy on the street if someone spots you.
I try to use the sympathy vote as I’m 68 and have Parkinson’s, It usually works.
Dreadful using my disability I know, but hey if it works
THANK YOU

Fantastic picture of the garment factory.
I remember growing up in the East End of London, and visiting places like this. Life was hard for recent immigrants with both the wife and husband working long hours in terrible conditions.

I am a life-long devotee of the greasy spoon, but I should like to content myself by believing that the old gent in the apron & hat is actuallt taking a well earned break from washing the pots rather than dabbling in Haute Cuisine! Mind you…. Fish & chips at 29p… I might just risk it!
