I enjoyed them all very much. I have a particularly soft spot for the photo of the corridor at Whitechapel station, alas no more. I too am sad to see the old station go. However, I saw the magnificent lettering about locks, safes etc carved into the wall just off Hackney Road only yesterday.

Just being able to walk down an old street amidst all the new developments, is a joy and can still evoke a strong sense of the past. Thanks for the photos.
