Lost department stores of London: Wickhams on the Mile End Road The photo shows a foggy day in November 1933. The story of the weird shop that separated the two halves of Wickhams will no doubt be told by somebody!

Brady Street looking toward the junction with Durward Street, 1979. Brady Street began its existence as Ducking Pond Lane, a short pathway to the ducking pond which stood at the junction with Ducking Pond Row (later Buck’s Row). By 1800 it had been renamed North Street and was extended northward as Upper North Street during the early 19th century. The entire thoroughfare was renamed Brady Street on 7 May 1875.

The Siege of Sidney Street of January 1911 was a gunfight in the East End between a combined police and army force and two revolutionaries. The siege was the culmination of a series of events that began in December 1910, with an attempted jewellery robbery at Houndsditch which resulted in the murder of three policemen, the wounding of two others, and the death of George Gardstein, the leader of a Latvian gang.
