Saw the exhibition of these photos on ITV London News at the weekend - great to see them on your link Chris, thank you so much.

The area featured now is very ' trendy' and would be completely unrecognizable to the inhabitants back then, who were mainly Jewish immigrants.

What wonderful Photos.
No trees, very plain buildings, but clean, no litter!

Loved the crazy scaffolding , the authorities would have a fit today.

But always the hoards of curious children trying to get into shot.
