What lovely pictures Rob, I love these drawings when you can imagine the artist sitting in front of the view as it existed then.

Yes, they're very atmospheric aren't they, Anne. It's as though the artist was asked by someone like Dickens or George Eliot to go "on location" and bring back images showing everyday life happening.

I find the Little Butcher Row and Derby Lane pictures particularly good.

Yes thanks Helen/Rob - When you see the Derby Lane one it's a miracle it lasted up to 1940!

A card that I've never seen before of the Singer Works, probably on Canterbury Street here.
