Two new sections and photo galleries have been added to the Cockney pages. Manor Park Cemetery and Spitalfields Market. There are a few minor additions to other parts of the site, but I have still not had time to complete the gallery index.

Not a lot of changes this time. Apart from a few odd bits of text here and there the only added article is about the farmers market in Mile End Park. and a small photo gallery.

Ever since I saw a crane on the roof of the old London Stock Exchange building I have taken a photo or two when passing. This started about eighteen months ago. At first I thought they were just going to demolish it, but I then saw that they were simply transforming it. They still haven’t finished but here’s the story so far: Old London Stock Exchange building >>

Well if you’ve been here before, you will have already noticed the revamped decor and layout. I’ve made the whole site design simpler and hopefully easier on the eye.
I’m sorry to all the dial-up users for slightly even longer loading times for pictures but I have increased the size of photos to a quarter of their full size. They are now 640 x 480 pixels. Thumbnails are also slightly larger now. I have done this because of the number of Broadband connections now in use. There have also been a great many photos added.
I hope the navigation is suitable, it becomes more cumbersome each time new pages are added. The related links in the left margin may help.

A lot of the original content has had some additions or updates which I am afraid you will have to find for yourself. The major additions however, I’ll list here. Whitechapel is a new page along with a separate page on the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
The Isle of Dogs is another new addition along with a page on Mudchute Farm. I have also included a list of the photo galleries, but this may not be complete yet, I’m still working on it.. The Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green is another new addition. I finally finished a page on Saint Paul’s Cathedral after grabbing some photos when passing by.

There are more updates almost ready to be uploaded, including articles on Spitalfields, Manor Park Cemetery and the old Stock Exchange building showing how it has been transformed by developers. I’ll add these within the next few weeks hopefully.
