Many are unaware that after WW1/WW2, many citizens were given 'prefabricated' homes due to so many buildings being bombed. Ironically, the thought of having an indoor toilet, a private living room, and a garden would have seemed a palace to those who'd lived through hardship.

In this video made by @ ChelseaDan5, and myself, a few years ago, we visited the last of the largest prefabricated sites that were built by German prisoners of war. At the time the site was being developed so I darent imagine what's happened there since.

A glorious, antique photograph of the #Wine Vaults in #London Docks. Nowadays our alcohol arrives on lorries, planes and big, boring ships. Once, our booze adventured the seven seas the old fashioned way just so #England's wine lovers could indulge. 🍷 @lostandlivingpubs

Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight from the beautiful #BethnalGreen, East #London

If she genuinely loves you, there will be signs..

I just got hit on so hard that I feel as if I just survived a serious job interview. I'll need a week or so to recover.

In 1901/2, Horace Warner photographed some of the depraved living conditions of children in East #London, who he named the '#Spitalfields nippers'. The images have frozen a few souls in time, so we may forever view a time & place long since forgotten. (#UnionPlace, #Spitalfields)

Is #Gandalf the worst of the greatest wizard? One moment, he's running from orcs and dogs. The next, he can take out hundreds of trolls with the wave of his staff. He's either incredibly lazy with his powers or forgets he's a wizard when it hits the fan.
