Thanks Gillian. Several of my rellies lived in Shoreditch so it should be interesting. Grace

Thanks for that If you chop the URL back to the higher level and then roam around you find this site: http://www.workhouses.*com/ (remove*) which looks pretty useful. There's another link to http://www.victorianengland.org.uk but it took a long time to load when I tried - possibly because there are lots of photos, e.g Dorset Street, London, c.1900; Spitalfields, London, c.1900; Down Leman Street To The Docks, Whitechapel, London; Commercial Street, Whitechapel, London, c.1900 It's well-worth book-marking if you want to see some late-19th/early-20th century images of London.
