A crowd gathers outside the 'Frying Pan' public house on #BrickLane in #Whitechapel, East #London during the 1880s. Brick Lane is now a graveyard of pubs. Instead, one is met with a baragement of graffiti. This photo was taken during the time that the Whitechapel Murders (Jack the Ripper murders) were taking place. If only we could hear what they were saying. #RIP 🍻

"Stealing kisses in those [?]
Stealing kisses in those bloody shoes
I'm killing you"..

This 1850s image (which was probably taken from #Southwark Bridge) shows #London long before modernity ruined its charm. One can see the old Iron and Bull wharfs on #UpperThamesStreet, #Queenhithe, which have long since vanished.

The Klondyke Bar was a pub in #Belfast, Northern #Ireland, that was built in 1872 and located in the #SandyRow area.

And so it begins..

If you're driving your children to school, don't listen to the news or allow them to play their hollow, sickening rap music. Stick on the 'White Ladder' album by David Gray and help them experience talent and beauty over the poison sold as contemporary art.

A #Sikh whom I speak to often at one of my gyms asked me to give his son a firm lecture on the importance of early mornings/physicality. He said the youth of his community, due to assimilation, have fallen victim to the same corruption that's ruined Europe's recent generations.

Vin the feminist...

My heart can only take so much...

News articles in the 2020s are the very jokes we made in the 2010s

Have a wonderful day 😎

This outlandishly impressive painting is named Sunny Day, Merikul by #IvanShishkin and was painted in 1894. The saying "art is in the eye of the beholder" is not an excuse to patronise contemporary vandalism. To call today's 'art', "art", is to destroy our concept of true talent. @VinsFavouriteArtwork
