I (@VinnieSullivan) used to frequent this venue in my youth. After an evening in #Wanstead, #SouthWoodford or elsewhere, we'd often head to a club that had kept it's pub name. The Rising Sun (20 #Woodford new road) rested in a forested area of #Walthamstow tucked between #Leytonstone and #Woodford. My family once drank in the actual pub itself, I simply visited it's shadow in order to chat up women and have a decent enough reason to stay out late. Little did I realise that I, thinking as a mere youth, joined in the decline of #Britain's pubs. We all know that we cannot turn back time, but few of us truly learn from our mistakes in the hope of a better future. It's a short walk from where I was born (#WhippsCross hospital #Leytonstone, #London, #E11) and sits within the tree's of #Epping forest, a realm I know and love. This part of the forest named #GilbertsSlade. I remember the warmth I felt leaving in the early hours after a skinful upon seeing that I was within the forest I love.
A crowd gathers outside the 'Frying Pan' public house on #BrickLane in #Whitechapel, East #London during the 1880s. Brick Lane is now a graveyard of pubs. Instead, one is met with a baragement of graffiti. This photo was taken during the time that the Whitechapel Murders (Jack the Ripper murders) were taking place. If only we could hear what they were saying. #RIP 🍻
This 1850s image (which was probably taken from #Southwark Bridge) shows #London long before modernity ruined its charm. One can see the old Iron and Bull wharfs on #UpperThamesStreet, #Queenhithe, which have long since vanished.
The greatest sights in #London are the parts that have been most left undisturbed.

The ‘Hoop & Grapes’ - 47 #Aldgate High St, Greater, #London, #EC3N
We traversed to the @HoopandGrapes_ to discuss its historical interest and importance within #London and #Britain's overall pub scene. This pub isn't simply important as a pub. It's an insight into the many buildings that once made up the #CityofLondon before the 'Great fire' of 1666. ChelseaDan5 and myself (@VinnieSullivan) were joined by the wonderful @TheWonderingEnglishman. Together, we looked at the building not only for its registered history but for the many unknown moments it must have seen. We'd like to thank the staff who were incredibly helpful, polite, and facilitating. Our view into the cellar/tunnel was very special and ensured we'll be singing the Hoops praises for years to come. We hope you'll join us on YouTube.
Thank you all for joining us, you'll find the full feature in high quality below. 🤝🍻

The Spanish Tallship (Galeon Andalusia) - St Catherine Docks, #Wapping, #London, #E1W
This replica is a beautiful yet scary insight into historical Naval warfare. This beast, like its #Portuguese siblings, terrorised the seas for many years. Britian was tried and tested againt fantastic #Navy's. Even the #Spanish Amarda wasn't thwarted in the fashion most think. We can only imagine the hardship and stories that took place amongst the storms and battles within the seven seas. No doubt, the sea bed hides a great deal of secrets, relics, and lost souls.

The Imperial Hotel in #London's #RussellSquare was once a neo-gothic wonder devised by the architect Charles Fitzroy Doll. It was DEMOLISHED in 1966 and replaced by this brutalist display of architectural terrorism by the design of "Architect" Charles Lovett Gill.

Despite its name covering an incredibly large terrain, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find any real evidence of #London.

The Defacement Of #LeadenhallMarket
Gracechurch St, City of #London #EC3V - #Ledenhall sits in the centre of what was #Roman London as a cultural reminder to those of us who've always loved it.
Preservation seems to have become destruction.

Looking down upon a world,
In which I love so much.
A love that's turned upon itself,
Until it hate as such.

The Strangers' Bar is one of several bars in the Palace of #Westminster (Houses of #Parliament) that sells alcohol/ pints for just over £3.
Meanwhile, the average pint in #London is over £6.
Thanks a lot.

I was taught to beware of #vermin of all kinds, especially living in and around #London. The stigma of being unhygienic has been passed onto those of us who oppose it. Not only do #rats thrive and multiply more than before, but newcomers are deliberately feeding pigeons that carry various diseases. They don't stop to notice that we don't see sparrows and birds of prey in urban areas, only vermin who especially risk the health of our elderly and children alike. The sparrows stick to the bushes and the parks, not the bridges coated in filth and their own excrement. You're not being kind to animals. You're giving opportunity to disease and even death.

Just because you fill something up doesn't mean it isn't empty.
