Lant Street 1935

Fascinated to have found this - almost within living memory. There's the Glad on the left - must have been new then. Enjoy!

I just can't get enough of pictures like that.

My grand-father in one of the many m oves that people made, lived at one time at number 5 lant street, wished i had a photo of them to shew my auntie. she said he worked nearby at a 'garage'...

Thank you JayBee for sharing, wonder when they were pulled down, the lack of litter, cars, yellow lines...warms the cockles of me 'art kids...

I am presuimg the block on the right - opp. the glad was bombed in the war?

I was looking round Bunhill Fields Cemetery a couple of weeks ago, and noticed that one of the deceased was linked to the Abbey on Lant street, Southwark.

I done some research several years ago and found the Gladstone listed in the Post Office Directories in the 1870's

Great photographs, I went to Charles Dickens school which was opposite the houses on the right that was long after the houses had gone then it was a car park and where the motor repairs is was lawsons I think they were called, whoI think were the forerunners of paper recycling.

In the photo with the Gladstone on the left , the house with the arched doorway ( there is a white "bollard" on the pavement outside it ), was where the boy Charles Dickens lived when his father was in the Marshalsea
