    I’ve really enjoyed this. I’ve been obsessed with London most of my life after a visit with my grandfather when I was 9 in 1984. It’s a very different place now for sure. I wonder what my great great grandparents would think of luxury flats built on the same streets they and countless others nearly starved their entire lives. I think I can guess though. The old photos showing what used to be are a real treat as well. I hope you keep making these

    Thanks Luke. I grew up facing Clarance ROAD (Get it right mate) You missed Georges Fish and Chips Shop. World famous around Canning Town. Had you have carried on to the bridge (Manor Rd) you could have added in that under its arches it once had a piggery. Samson family. Before and after the 2nd war. It had to close and move out of the district. Around 1960 Also, a monumental mason business. Phil Collins. Phil began with a firewood Smale business. Also, a panel beating paint shop Terry Ryan. Lastly. One of the best Antique wooden furniture restorer/carvers you could ever meet named Sid Kinsely. The powers that be replaced the old "Peggy leggy steps" when they built the Star Lane Station.

      @lengraves2556 Hi Len. Thanks for sharing these memories mate! My mistake "I have so many different locations, rattling around my brain, it get mixed up sometimes." Ah, the famous Peggy leggy steps = they were still there when I was a kid "many, have memories linked to them." Some cracking info there, Len "much appreciated." 👍

    👋🏻🇺🇸Hello there Luke, I was not familiar with Admiral Horatio Nelson. But looked him up and what a brave man he was! We would do his best to serve and protect Britain 🇬🇧 I have the utmost respect for him and those like him. Honor of God & country were his motto. Such courage, bravery and leadership he showed to his navy. ❤God bless him. RIP Admiral Nelson. 🥰❤️💐🙏🏻🕊️✝️ Good job on this one too! 😊❤️👏🏻👏🏻

      @PhillyGirl-pt3vq Hi there, fascinating man & yes you're right "very brave" they don't make many like that anymore. I'm with you on that "a man like Nelson, has certainly earned that respect too." God bless him & his brave men 🕊 Another interesting character to research, is The Duke of Wellington "known as the Iron Duke" = army though, whereas Admiral Nelson was strictly Navy. Ah thanks for that lovely comment "really appreciate that + glad you enjoyed the video." Thsnks again 🇺🇸 👋 🇬🇧💙✌️

      @Lysability Hey mate. Lol mine too 😅 that's where I got it from 😉 They had a saying "for every occasion" those old-school Nan's, didn't they. Poppet when I behaved = you rotten little apeth or stinkpot, when not behaving. Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it xxx
