I have only been subscribing to your site for about a week now , what a joy every morning to read your daily work thank you . I worked at the junction of Osborne st and brick lane in the mid 1960’s ,so I know the area very well thank you again
So much poverty and squalor for many, although people just seem to have got on with life whatever it dished out to them. A brave and tough lot! A fascinating collection of images nevertheless.
Life as I knew it
