Photos from a lost world - London in 1880

Is it just me or is this a pretty awe-inspiring collection?

They get better as you scroll down.

I only just came to this and have to say, for someone who has never been to London (I live in Australia) I found this collection utterly fascinating. This is the London of Oliver, Fagan, Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes; dirty, run down, somewhat mysterious and completly charming. Thanks so much for pointing this collection out.

 

Thanks. These pictures just struck me as being fascinating though I wasn't entirely sure why, and now you've supplied the reason.
