GA, very nice juxtaposition of Dickens’s texts with various contemporary pics of Shadwell and Limehouse. The novelist loved to walk for hours at night throughout London while he created his story lines and worked out his plots.

Good stuff…

I’ve spent many hour wandering those streets and your photos bring them deliciously back. Imagine owning the ‘Grapes.’ Imagine being able to sit in that place after the customers have gone and its late and locked up and warm and quiet and you get yourself a drink and sit at a table overlooking the river….I can scarcely think of anything i’d like better.

Spitalfields Life is always worth visiting, but today’s blog is a masterpiece, tying together the sense of place and great literature.

Encore!
