01 Saint saviours docks London 1965
One interesting fact about Saint Saviour's Dock in 1965 is that it was part of the larger transformation of London's docklands. By the mid-20th century, many of the traditional dockside industries were in decline due to the advent of containerization and changes in shipping practices.
This period marked the beginning of a shift from industrial use to residential and commercial redevelopment. Today, the area is known for its converted warehouses and modern apartment buildings, blending historical architecture with contemporary urban living. | 167 | 1 | Loading... |

26 This is Mrs. Elizabeth Hanbury, one of the very few people from the 18th century to have lived in three centuries. She was born Elizabeth Sanderson on the 9th of June, 1793 at Devonshire House, Leadenhall Street, London. At the time of Elizabeth's birth, both of her parents were 44. Her parents were Quakers - John Sanderson (1749-1816) of Armthorpe, Yorkshire and Margaret Shillito (1748-1795) of Holborn, London.
.
They married in Devonshire Square, London on the 8th of February, 1786. Elizabeth was only 19 months old when her mother died on the 31st of January, 1795. A record of Elizabeth's birth was made at the parish of All Hallows-on-the-Wall.
She was well-known in her own right, other than being a notable centenarian. Elizabeth married Cornelius Hanbury (1796-1869) in Bristol, Gloucestershire on the 21st of November, 1826. In the following years, they had three children, one son Cornelius, and two daughters; Charlotte and Elizabeth, who were all born on Gracechurch Street, London.
.
Throughout Elizabeth's long life, she witnessed so much English history. She was already 45-years old when Queen Victoria's coronation took place in 1838. Elizabeth, having been the eldest subject of the Queen, died in Richmond on the 31st of October, 1901, at the age of 108. She was almost 26-years older than the Queen and she witnessed the Queen's entire 63-year reign, and outlived her by 9 months. At the time of Elizabeth's death, she was the oldest person in the United Kingdom, and one of the last surviving people from 18th century England. | 124 | 4 | Loading... |
27 1928. Millbank. On 7th January 1928, a flood caused mass destruction along the banks of the Thames, overflowing the embankments from Putney up to Southwark. 14 people died and hundreds more were made homeless.
This photograph, taken from Lambeth Bridge, shows repair work to the river wall at Millbank. This view looks almost unrecognisable today, partly in response to the damage caused by the flood, in 1932 the LCC rebuilt Lambeth Bridge and, at the same time, built up the embankments at either side.
In 1930 nearly all of the buildings shown in this photograph were demolished to make way for Thames House, a large block of offices designed by Frank Baines at the Government’s Office of Works. (creditLayersofLondon)

31 The vintage photo of the entrance to the Commercial Docks, now known as Surrey Quays, captures a significant piece of London's maritime history.
The Commercial Docks were once a bustling hub of trade and commerce in the Rotherhithe area of London. Established in the 19th century, these docks were a crucial part of the Port of London, handling goods from all over the world, including timber, grain, and other commodities. | 185 | 2 | Loading... |

39 Locals pose for a photographer on Dorset Street, Spitlefields in November 1888. By repute Dorset Street was apparently “the worst street in London” according to the press of the time. Why was that you might ask. Well Dorset Street was the scene of the brutal murder of Mary Jane Kelly which was attributed to Jack the Ripper on 9th November 1888. The murder was committed at Marys lodgings situated at number 13 Miller’s Court, which was entered from a passageway between 26 and 27 Dorset Street. | 187 | 1 | Loading... |
40 TOWER BRIDGE, 1901
By the 1870s, around a million people were living east of London Bridge, so getting across it could take hours. Tower Bridge came out of this need for a new river crossing and was completed in 1894. Its gothic design was chosen to blend with the Tower of London, a request by Queen Victoria. | 174 | 1 | Loading... |
