Comments on: The Forgotten Corners of Old London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/01/18/the-forgotten-corners-of-old-london/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 05 Mar 2022 17:27:59 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Lin Pagnani https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/01/18/the-forgotten-corners-of-old-london/#comment-1451537 Sat, 05 Mar 2022 17:27:59 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=78647#comment-1451537 I fell in love with London on the first day I set foot there. My enthrallment increased with each of my 13 subsequent visits. Alas I fear I have now reached an age when another trip is impossible but I want you to know that whenever I need to escape the time and place I’m in, I can always depend on your messages to transport me back. Thank you for all the words and pictures which never fail to fascinate and inform. I hope you continue these wonderful contributions for at least another 20 years. Many thanks from a grateful old lady in the USA.

I am always struck by the buildings so black from soot. London of my childhood with no pristine stone and brickwork like today. Tickled by the MYO (milk your own) stall in St James’s park and the legless Charles II – I think he often was!

I used to work up the City, in the 60’s.
I was always fascinated by the lanes,
passages and ancient buildings. Still
am.

Thank you for such wonderful photo’s.

The pics are fascinating…..I was surprised that details in some of the pics are very similar to those in old buldings / streets of Bombay.

Thanks for sharing, very enjoyable.

Strange banner on the right in the Kingsway Tunnel tram photo which appears to say “SEE IF THE MIDLAND FURNISHES…..” (what I wonder?). Couldn’t help but notice St Brides slide was printed in reverse……but doesn’t really matter. Thanks & welcome back GA.
