Most of these pictures were taken on a tour led by Bridget Cherry, a leading architectural historian whose name appears on the essential works for anyone with an interest in the subject, The Buildings of England, begun by Nikolaus Pevsner in 1951 as a part of 'The Story of London Festival.' These walks were put on by the Heritage of London Trust & Pevsner Architectural Guides in east London. Further information about most of these buildings etc can be found in the East London volume of the Buildings of England.
