Here are extraordinary pictorial evocations of street markets, lodging houses, soup kitchens, taverns and missions, schools, hospitals, churches, parks and street scenes, including many interior views. Here in this feast of pictures is an East london which is often haunting and strange, yet always very much alive. Ref CC1
