French Place E1...

This is a very interesting corner for we are in the heart of Shoreditch E1 which is a very newish trendy place & cetainly different to the usual places that people tend to visit here in the capital.

Looking at this beautiful dark brick corner with offset windows just makes me wonder what this area would have been like a hundred years ago. I love the fact that the box sash windows are still in place even if it appears the lower ground window to the right needs a security grill. But look at the perfect vertical drain pipe and the lone bollard to our right (http://www.bollardsoflondon.blogspot.com/) and notice the really dark looking bricks with a slight curve on the actually corner of the building.

In fact the name of this little street/place eg French Place E1 just makes me wonder of the past in this rather gritty, grey part of the newish London pub/club scene that is all around this ever so quiet corner...
