Summary: | Always a rum place, the industrial revolution replaced the rose bushes and hedgerows with metallic roads and iron railways, the mud banks gave way to deep-water docks and sweatshops. This work tells the story of this part of London that has always enthralled writers and readers through the bizarre, the unusual, the arcane and the mysterious. |
