    What a wonderful website for any family historian with an interest there, it has just about everything and the wonderful pictures too
    I could get lost in there for days just out of interest.

          Lovely photos. So sad to see St. Giles Cripplegate looking majestic there, where nowadays its completely invisible unless you go into the Barbican and its dwarfed by the surrounding flats.

              Thanks for pointing this out. I've just had another 'walk around' Bunhill Fields where my 4 x great grandfather Rev Thomas Harper was buried in 1832. No head stone evident but I have the co -ordinates of his grave position so was able on a physical visit to stand near his grave with the help of Tom who has drawn a handmade plan of the cemetery.

                Thanks a lot, Christine. Don't think my East Enders (or not the ones I've found so far) come under Spitalfields, but I still find the site fascinating

                    Photos and the videos were brilliant on the youtube not only the Petticoat Lane but the suffragettes were on there and a few other historical events well worth watching

                      I have posted it on my BBC Family Trees board and made some people really happy and they are finding it a really worthwhile site too

                      Thanks again
