The building of the 'Holborn Viaduct' in #London during the 1860s. It was originally build across the River Fleet Valley which is no longer visible above ground.

Ironically, many of the homes that housed the poor (as well as the middle/upper-middle class) are still the most picturesque in #Whitechapel, despite an abundance of "new housing."

The example of Brentford's loss of Pubs is a frightening insight into the future of a very bland #Britain. The once bustling high street served the many dockers and traders who brought the place to life. Like most places in #London and it's suburbs, we've too many lost tales to ever truly tell. 🍻

Join us on You Tube for a host of episodes on Britain's Lost & Living Pubs.

Picturesque architecture was created during times of incredible poverty, undermining the modern metropolis created by mass amounts of wealth.

'Dog fouling' 🐕 There's some wicked buggers out there.. #Brentford, #London

#Brentford High Street is one of the greatest insights into Britain's dying pubs. Once, this one street had 50 pubs! Now, hyper-modernisation reigns supreme within an area once so important for its docks, pubs, and people.

When I depart #London, I feel my mental well-being immediately begin to improve. Our cities represent the extremes of both the utmost brilliance and complete degradation. I'm always homesick for the very thing that's killing me. But, if led correctly, #London would be spectacular

Well, that's my day ruined. In our defense, it's a stupid place to put a lamp-post. #Wapping, #London

“Few places in this world are more dangerous than home.
Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain passes.
They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action.”

This is a special feature covering a dark, sinister topic that occurred during the medical industries early breakthroughs. Pubs from #Edinburgh to #London would be an incredibly dangerous place to show signs of illness or to discuss a family death. The murders of #BurkeAndHare exposed a sickening trade that was promoted by a morally corrupt medical industry. Join me in one of Scotlands beautiful kirkyards to discuss an embarrassing, disturbing secret of Britain's academic and criminal past.

The privilege of inner city life..

This lady approached ChelseaDan5 and myself and asked to gain access to the pub, which wasn't open. She then began talking to herself whilst shamelessly squatting right beside us. Never a boring day in beautiful #London.
