Not original signage clearly, but I love the fact that an Industrial Brush Manufacturer was operating out of this house since 1899. Green Street.

Shopfront of Plaistow past..

Vintage advertising signage for defunct morally/ethically dubious 'newspaper'... #newsoftheworld #newsinternational #murdoch #lies #scum

Former Victorian School entrance, #plaistow #newham #eastlondon #e13 #home

Plaistow sorting office. Missing a thousand years..

Majestic golden sign, screaming glamour, sadly closed I think. Where am I gonna go now for my classy orange spray- over?? #shitsigns #diysigns #shite

My local barber.. What on earth is 'the real gee'?. You may keep it D'Dream, and your superfluous D and apostrophe. And your pigeon-shit encrusted canopy. And I hope your barbing is more impressive than your shite shopfront...N'Nightmare.. #barbtoimpress #fortherealgee #nahmate #ihavemyownclippers

Neighbourhood wanders for a while. Old barn, Plaistow Park. #wallporn #architectureporn #urbex #ue #heritage #history #structures #wandering #roaming #drifting #walkabout #creepybuilding #diseased

Boy squatting, @jefaerosol at Limehouse.

These lovely plaques at Newham General Hospital - part of a collection from hospitals around London from pre-NHS days when beds were sponsored by charitable donors. Gorgeous.

Further wanders in Stoke Newington.. Lovely bit of Victorian wall that, and you can get a flat in this building for £600 Grand. #JesusSaves

Recently deceased hell hole on my fave stretch of London decay at Limehouse. Who knows how this place survived so long - three sketchy old men and a dog, nicotine stained ceilings and curtains, and a liberal attitude to smoking laws. I worked in nearby schools and often wondered if a bunch of Teachers would be welcomed or dismembered.. Oh, and there's a lovely painting of this place on @madden.london feed.... #shithole #satancave #fuckoff #notwelcome #yellowceiling #hole #whatsmokingban #dirtynetcurtains #notyouson #onyourbike #bodyparts #checkunderthefloorboards #toilet #cesspool #filth
