I wonder whether the factory chimneys shown in the far distance of the Barking allotments picture was where he worked?

I look at the road in Ruislip with the drives unspoiled by front car parking and could picture myself happily walking down the street. I am familiar with many of the places shown . One thing I miss are the free summer concerts that they would have at Kenwood on a Saturday evening . It doesn’t get any better than that. Yes it was not that long ago but they were once free . Go tell that to your grandchildren !

The faded color, fuzzy edges – some of the river scenes reminded me of impressionists! Lovely. thanks for all the interesting things this blog shares!!

To see Coldharbour Farm which is now a huge housing estate, the trams at Lee Green and my husband’s village where he was born, Chelsfield. Wonderful reminiscences.

GA, what beautiful, serene photos in LONDON’S NATURAL HISTORY. Such a variety, and they look like paintings.

One of my earliest memories of London is all the rose bay willow herb on the bomb sites.
