What was the borough of Finsbury (inc Clerkenwell) is quite posh, where Islington meets the city, bombed during the war means lots of social housing now worth a fortune.

Photo taken 4/5 years ago.

Shoreditch, where north meets east, some nice architecture but has a seedy reputation, still some strip clubs & lots of night life but gentrification means a shoebox next to a crack den will set you back a million quid.

2nd pic, bottom left Shoreditch Crown court, now a posh hotel.

Bermondsy... south of the river, may as well be Afghanistan. Sorry!

Holy cow !!!!      That guy is SOME researcher  or WHAT !!           No one related to me  however but could have been I suppose . 

There does seem to be one or two Evans,s about . 

Thank you anyway .       One thing I like to read in that kind of material is the occupations  ,   I noticed  " Coach trimmer"   there.
