Comments on: Charles Chusseau-Flaviens’ London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/02/11/charles-chusseau-flaviens-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 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:57:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Peter Holford https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/02/11/charles-chusseau-flaviens-london/#comment-1135607 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:57:36 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=154196#comment-1135607 Stunning! On first viewing (before reading the words!) I thought they showed London in the 1890s. It’s hard to believe that they were taken in the same era as my dad was born. I guess many of the photos are showing immigrants from Europe wearing clothes that may well have been viewed as archaic to our eyes.

So glad to see them posted here. Thank you !

I’d like to find out more about exact locations and which if any of the buildings in the Petticoat and Brick Lane ones are still standing.

Liz Gowers if you put ‘Beating the Bounds’ into the Spitalfields Life searchbox, you will see that the gentle author has done at least two pieces on the subject, on beating the bounds of the City of London and of the Tower. The ceremony is by no means extinct I think, and takes place up and down the country.

I like the Beating the Bounds,this is a tradition that has been lost,or has it,does anyone know?
I registered a Village Green here on the IW and tried hard to get the tradition of Beating the Bounds started again,it is a wonderful way of getting children to understand land boundries and their enviroment.

They seem so much more realistic than carefully posed images of the time. That top picture is very Gustave Dore.
