FORMER MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.

This former orphan asylum building is on Herman Hill Wanstead. It was opened in 1863, has been a hospital and is now an apartment building. Seeing it bathed in this beautiful light, it was well worth capturing and I thought I would do a series of pictures showing the architecture and masonry. I have decided to run them over a few days, so keep watching.

GOODBYE TO THE ALLIED IRISH BANK

ONCE THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB, THEN A BANK, WHAT NEXT?    

This eighteenth century building in Wanstead High Street, noted for its bust of Sir Winston Churchill has seen many changes.  I thought it appropriate when taking this picture to give the bust pride of place in the foreground. The expression on his face to me is one of determination exemplifying the man that he was.
