These fine Georgian Buildings are sadly no longer standing as with Watneys Brewery
Great Photographs and bringing back great memories

“In Pennyfields, Limehouse” is the corner of Emmett St and Westferry Rd, looking north. A couple of hundred yards from Pennyfields, and now buried under Westferry Circus.

“Ties on sale in Ming St, Limehouse”. The shop was Grant’s Meanswear in West India Dock Rd, opposite West India House.

“At Club Row animal market, Spitalfields”. It is what we called Club Row Market, but Club Row is in Shoreditch, not Spitalfields. And this particular photo was taken on Bethnal Green Rd.

They are large black and white prints that are striking, moving, and memorable. This entry has reminded me to search for a collection of the photos in book form. The London photos are grand, too.

I just about remember Putney, Fulham and Chelsea looking like that – but not any longer!
