    The picture isn't historical but the car is. The fantastic Napier Railton, they just don't make them like that anymore...

    I spent 3 ¹/² years with the Paras, and was there for the 50th anniversary of WW2 and the formation of the Regiment in 1990 - we re-enacted some of their escapades with their equipment, that was scary compared to what we'd been used too!

    London's last remaining sewer-powered Webb Gas-lamp in Carter Lane next to the Savoy. With its hollow tube connected to the sewage system, since 1880 it has been transforming human effluence into radiance.

    The Salmon & Ball, Bethnal Green. Many moons before this photo, in Dec 1769, two weavers accused and found guilty of 'cutting' (i.e ruining competitors silk cloth) were hanged in front of the pub

    Interesting history as there has been a pub on that site since at least 1733. With regards to the hangings 'proceedings of the Old Bailey' were carried out at the pub up until at least the 1850s so the small green opposite the pub must have been the site of the gallows...

    The first toll collectors on the Sydney Harbour Bridge were exposed to the elements, with only a small concrete platform to protect them from vehicles.
