A view of Piccadilly Circus in 1860, before the creation of the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and again in 1912 - incidentally, the statue atop the fountain is NOT of Eros as popularly believed, but of Anteros, his brother… #London #History

This is the Bedford Row water pump which lay just north of Holborn C1911 - after having fallen into disuse, it was modified to include a lamp before being Grade II listed by Historic England in 1951 - (the lamp was square but is now round)… #London #History

A beautiful gas lamp looks incongruous in this scene of Coldharbour on the Isle of Dogs - the name ‘Coldharbour’ is derived from Saxon and it means an uninhabited or ‘cold’ refuge rather than an inhabited one.... the-east-end.co.uk #eastend #History

Vermin, flying rats - I've heard most of the descriptions, but there was still a delight in feeding the pigeons in Trafalgar Square. This simple pleasure lasted until 2003, when the mayor of London declared war on the birds (which produced a LOT of mess) #london #history #birds

March 1990 - Trafalgar Square, London. With the introduction of the poll tax, many people protested, and were met with the full force of the Riot Police. 45 police officers were among the 113 people injured, and a total of 340 people were arrested… #History #London

Especially for Hammers fans, here is a 1932 news article about the rise of West Ham, which explains a little of the team’s origins (and why the cry should be ‘Up the Iron’)… #eastend #History #WHUFC #hammers #football

It says much for the East End that a Funeral Directors was seen as a suitable backdrop for a photograph - and advertising ‘cheap’ funerals, no less! To read a selection of tales of the people and places of the old East End visit the-east-end.co.uk #eastend #History

In answer to @elonmusk saying X is a better name - for me the answer is a definite No. Twitter was never as toxic as this platform has become since being taken over… #Twitter #NoTwitter

C1932 - Arsenal fans gather around a paraffin heater as they wait to get tickets to a match against Chelsea... the stands were 2/- then - 10p in today’s money - (without being adjusted for inflation before anyone picks me up!) #eastend #AFC #Gunners #football #TOTARS
