Thursday 29th October 2015 - "St Jude" - in the abandoned churchyard of St Jude Bethnal Green, which was bombed in the Second World War and not rebuilt. The churchyard was left undisturbed for many years and has now become a nature reserve.

12 noon on 2nd July marks the half-way point of the year (unless it's a Leap Year when the half-way point is 12 midnight on 1st July). A photo taken at that moment of the pink hydrangea in my back garden.

  

St. Matthew's church, St. Matthew's Row, Bethnal Green.

The church was designed by George Dance in 1742 and got half built but because of insufficient funds, fire, strikes and rows between the architect and the builders it wasn't completed until 1861. In 1940 the Germans bombed it and it was rebuilt in 1961.

The Kray's funerals were held here.

The only buildings left from the old slum were a couple of school buildings.

To dispel the winter gloom, I've uploaded some photos taken earlier this year of the colourful Sunday flower market in Columbia Road, Bethnal Green.

 

A quiet street of Victorian houses during the week, Columbia Road comes alive on Sundays when the flower market takes over between 8am and 2pm. Many of the small shops also open on the day, adding to the atmosphere which also spills over into adjoining streets. It's very busy, so go early to avoid the crowds - or late to seek out bargains.

Joseph Truman started brewing in Brick Lane in 1683. The brewery grew over the years and had buildings on both sides of Brick Lane. Expansion continued into the 20th Century, but brewing ceased in the 1980s and the buildings have now been put to a variety of uses including a conference centre, restaurants and bars.
