Viewing these wonderful images, 23 June 2022, what amazes me most is the total lack of any litter in the streets!!! It is almost as if Tony must have followed the street cleaners’ vehicles on their rounds! Yet in a few photos, Market and wasteland rubbish is definitely there! Quite surreal…and magical. Thank you G.A.

Picture 204, corner shop of bushberry road and benn street. Incredible!! I lived at No.15 from a baby till 13 years old, so from 71 till 84. The shop was boarded up when I grew up there. Did hear some interesting information about the houses in bushberry road. Apparently around the turn of the century, there were some very sick/dying people living in a few houses along
there and nurses/midwives used to come and tend to the sick. My father told me years later that on 2 occassions had seen a ghostly figure of a nurse sitting at the end of my bed when I was just a nipper. I don’t really believe thatsort of stuff but would love to find out more information about the street and inhabitants, I also used to go to St.Dominics School just around the corner. And do my Guying leading up to bornfire night outside Wick Fisheries in the 70s. Play in the Green at the bottom of the road. Thanks for this photo, and the memories.

Lesley I was looking at my IPad and came across the photos of spiralfields .com and noticed two photos, corner of Lyal and Stanfield rd Bow. The shop in question was owned by my parents 29 Lyal rd it was a grocery/ dairy My father and brother did the milk run. I was born in 1940 so didn’t remember much during the war, but we had our own air raid shelter in Stanfield st opposite the shop, I now live in Australia ,since 1964 , made a visit to Lyal rd in 1998 and the shop was owned by the Gov/ council with a few people working there. The shop opposite called Maxwells was a dry cleaner shop. Thank you for the photos Yours. Iwan morgan Brisbane Aust

The image with the barges is taken next to the River Lea and Limehouse Cut. The cooling towers in the background is in Canning Town which was called West Ham Generating Station. Demolished in the late 1970’s.

On the left is the former gasworks.

The corner shop in photo no. 204 is my old house at 35 Bushberry Road. The photo is taken at the junction of Benn Street and Bushberry Road E9.

these are so wonderful. the haggerston road leading up to my estate which is nearly demolished. and i love, too, the people trying to locate the locations of the photos taken – it is almost possible to have GPS imprint locators on digital ones now….xA

Great Pictures! Thank you for posting them.
– The two pictures above “Corner of Well St & Holcroft Rd” (with the very narrow house in the middle) are of the junction between Bushberry Road and Benn street, off Kenworthy Road in Homerton. The narrow house has now been “improved” with a “classical” balustrade, which you can see from the slip road onto the A12.

– In the picture of with the imp car in the foreground, do I see the spire of St Leonard’s Shoreditch in the distance?

According to the barely-visible street sign and the placement in the series, 208 seems to be another part of St Leonard’s Road.
