Spectators at Boleyn Ground take a moment to view the eclipse of the sun during the match between West Ham United and Aston Villa on April 4, 1936
If you look at the man front row, third from the left, just behind him is legendary Hammers scout Reg Revins, the second in the Revins dynasty of distinguished ‘star finders’ for the Irons covering the era from the club’s founding to the mid-1960s. This one of the very few images of the great man.
The bloke with the pipe (front row, second left) is Charle Charles, who worked undercover & unofficially with Revins.

The Great Blizzard of 1881/This Is Local London
"Hundreds of miles of rail track were blocked by drifting snow, dozens of feet high in places. Even in central London, there were 3-foot drifts in places. Around 100 people are believed to have died as a result of the blizzard. The storm was accompanied by extreme cold."

This pub was earlier called the Eight Bells; the change of name to Ten Bells seems to have occurred in 1791. The name relates to the number of bells in the tower of Christchurch, next door. This originally had eight bells, increasing to ten in 1787 and actually to 12 in 1801
This pub was first built in 1752 or 1753 and was extensively rebuilt in 1845 - it remains open
