I would be interested in talking to you about Harold Burdekin as I inherited many of his photographs as he worked with my father. Please email me if you would like to talk. J D

Beautiful photographs, the light effects and composition are wonderful. There is something mysterious about towns and cities in the small hours of the night.

On the 17th April 1951 I went to my first day of my working life to 35 Great St Helens Bishopsgate, EC3, Is this the St Helens Bishopsgate shown in that photograph? It doesn’t seem to strike any cords in my memory.

Wonderful indigo inky shots and Regent Street looks like a river! Thank you GA for these hidden nighttime city shots!

All atmospheric but particularly like St Botolph.

Lovely, atmospheric. But am I alone in expecting Dr Who to appear around a corner? William Hartnell’s era, I think.

Marvelous, evocative and moody images. Thank you for highlighting them.

I’m very partial to the silvery night paintings of Victorian artist John Atkinson Grimshaw, such as ‘Greenwich Half Tide’ http://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/full.php?ID=181515 Whistler said of him, ‘I considered myself the inventor of Nocturnes until I saw Grimmy’s moonlit pictures.’
