Berner Street (now Henriques Street), April 1909. The cartwheel indicates the entrance to Dutfield’s Yard. The street first appeared on Horwood’s map of 1807 when it was little more than an incomplete cul-de-sac. Possibly named after Charles Berner, a trustee of the vestry of St George-in-the-east, it had become fully developed by the 1830s. The Berner Street/Dutfield’s Yard area was demolished in 1909 to make way for a new school which is today the Harry Gosling Primary School.

The corner of Johns Hill and Pennington Street, Wapping, December 1906. The long range of late 17th century dwellings of Pennington Street stood directly opposite the towering walls and warehouses of London Docks, which they pre-dated - hence the raised level of road surface which provided access to the Docks. By the early twentieth century, many older buildings such as these, offered rooms and lodgings for the working poor, who are gathered here outside their houses.

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.
