My father’s family were dockers and labourers in Limehouse. They came from Ireland in about the 1840’s… To think that Dickens walked the same streets at the same time…

I so love your blog! I live in the US in Las Vegas, Nevada ….a far place and world from your surroundings….I love Charles Dickens and thank you for all the tidbits, etc. you bring forth. I have a young friend who is going to swim in your channel and a daughter and friend who will come there to watch.

On my recent London holiday, one of the highlights was walking this very route, just after sunset. None of my pictures came out very well (I don’t like to use a flash), so it’s great to have these – and the history that goes with them!
