Sir Corbett Woodall, governor of the Gas Light and Coke Company 1906-1916, introduced bonuses for staff - if they could bring the prices DOWN!

Very different times ...

In Maria Terrace E1 you find 1860s houses with marked gothic stylings and small but charming gardens.

It's not all housing estates in the East End. Here are some 1820s cottages in Louisa St E1 - simple design but showing clear Georgian stylings in the doorframes.

@misssamperrin You're too good!

[Charnowalks @Charnowalks]

Sadly I'll be giving a tour of my own, but I'm sure you've got no excuse!

Join @misssamperrin for an authentic and enjoyable exploration of a fascinating aspect of our past!

An atmospheric moment caught between light and dark by @PamJMarchant. It's suggestive of so much, difficult to pin down - which is what art is all about.
