Great photographs and such a great film stock. Always makes me nostalgic for film until I remember the hours I spent trying to clean negatives – and later clone dust off negative scans. Fortunately, some digital post processing software can emulate very well these old film stocks – even if it does feel a bit like cheating.

Very fine KODAKS from the 80s! — I now use my old Reflex Camera again with a KODAK-Film!

Love & Peace

What amazing pictures! I hope they never tear them down. They are meant to be remember by all, now and in the future.

My Uncle (died earlier this year aged 92) ran Harry Cole’s on the other side of the road opposite the Gun.

Most mornings they would come to doorway of the pub to check if he wanted his breakfast, and if trade was slack enough he would request breakfast and they would prepare it and bring it over to him.

I was fortunate to have lunch there a year or two ago before it closed and experienced the pie!

I worked in the Market for 12 years as a porter, I had some great times in the fields, plenty of banter and practical jokes, I don’t think those times will ever come back. We had great football teams and there was some fantastic boxers and I still have a friend who’s 74 and still porters in the new Spitalfields in Stratford.

I remember all these streets but the most amazing thing is that I discovered my great gt grandparents lived in Gun st in the 1860s

It was great to see these…

Especially as the date 11/7/84 (and having checked an old diary) this was the very day I moved to my first studio in Brune Street!

I’d be grateful to know if the photographer Philip Marriage has any Brune Street fotos (being just one street over from White’s Row, via Tenter Ground).

Please would Philip Marriage contact me as it would mean so much.
