Having lived in this are most of my life I see the streets this way; in modern terms, but with a hint of bygone years. (Of course, my memories do not go back quite this far! But my imagination does).
Thank you for posting these haunting images

The placements and combinations here are masterful, achieving an end result that is so captivating. In the top photo, just a smidgen of color forms a beating heart of a sepia-cloaked young girl. Remarkable. I did a double take.

This post captures what Spitalfields Life is about — a celebration of past and present, combined with artistry and optimism.

We are but a moment. And all part of it. Those of the past and present.

I have stood in exactly the same places and taken my own photographs although I try to conjure images of my own ancestors and identify buildings that they would have known.
Sadly I won’t be able to make the talk but thank you for sharing these marvellous montages.
