Many of the medieval dwellings which managed to survive the Great Fire of London in 1666 were still around by the end of the 19th century. Alas, the British Empire was also in full swing, which meant there was a rush to re-develop and spend money. Overcrowded and fetid tenements were torn down, but so were historical aristocratic mansions, all to make way for the burgeoning capital of the Victorian Age. It's quite interesting to realize that London was, in the mid 1800s, almost on the brink of collapse, thanks to poverty and disease and just too many bloody people. But as she always has, the great city rose and, yes, many architectural treasures were lost. However, the expansion and cleansing led to better lives for many with a new look for the city. Too much of this is true”: The Latin phrase at the beginning of Lost in London translates to this, and conveys the atmosphere of the feature. The film strikes a comedic tone despite the dramatic subject matter, and that lies partly in the truth of the story. Lost in London is based on the true story of a London night in June 2002. Harrelson’s wife learned of his infidelity from a tabloid and Harrelson had a fiasco of sorts in a club, broke an ash tray in a taxicab, was involved in a police chase, and was arrested… all in one night. I can think of three reasons why a change might not be carried forward:- a typo or mistake, it was reversed or revised (perhaps after protests by residents - many of these alterations were not popular - plus ça change), or there was a further change/re-building later. The more esoteric end of the spectrum included institutions that pursued a particular line in treatment, such as the Institute of Ray Therapy in Camden, which offered treatment using ultraviolet and infrared lamps, and electrical currents.Brompton (1840) Friends of Brompton Cemetery (details in list of organisations from Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea).

The Western Charitable Foundation is an independent Jewish Orthodox burial society has a graves database covering its cemeteries at Edmonton, Cheshunt, Streatham and Fulham, whcih is searchable by surname, and gives full name, cemetery, plot number and date of burial.By 1834 there were an estimated 57 porn shops in Holywell Street selling novels, prints, etchings, catalogues on prostitute services, guides for Victorian homosexuals and flagellation connoisseurs. It was hardly a hidden world. The Victorian shops would have retained the raucous nature and prominent display of a medieval market rather than that of an invisible underworld. A letter to The Times in 1846 complains of the windows in the street which “display books and pictures of the most disgusting and obscene character, and which are alike loathsome to the eye and offensive to the morals of any person of well-regulated mind”.

Lord Campbell, along with the Society for the Suppression of Vice, introduced the world’s first law criminalizing pornography, the Obscene Publications Act 1857, and, for the first time, it gave the courts power to seize and destroy offending materials. Even at the time the law was strongly opposed and its legacy continues to cause controversy about what in Britain could be judged obscene, by whom and on whose behalf. Simple economics muscles in. The loss of so very many buildings because of the necessity of new road planning can be explained and understood as motor vehicles (cheaper) replaced horse-drawn conveyances. Enemy action in both the Great War and the Second World saw off an appreciable number of other buildings, resulting in the necessity for new plans. Renovation and adaptation is invariably cheaper than new-build; though new materials used are so frequently less substantial than the old. Alas wages can be higher than what will realistically grow employment. Is this economic insanity? Architects and designers wanted commissions and recognition. They got it.Details from your child's valid, machine-readable passport to verify their age and identity.

It was utterly out of place on the bank of the Thames, and that is why we admired it. The building had a miniscule lifespan. It was completed in 1978 but only became fully operational in the mid-1980s. It then closed in 2004.
