It’s the sort of mad scheme that only an enthusiastic amateur historian would come up with … and for which researchers ever after would be eternally grateful. For when Mrs Basil Holmes set out to write a book detailing every London cemetery of every and all denomination and creed, there was no financial incentive in [...]]]></description>

During the Victorian era and after, it was a tradition for the well-heeled to enter the East End to do good works. And though for many one visit was enough, many stayed to leave a lasting legacy - their institutions outliving them and even growing far beyond the boundaries of Tower Hamlets. The names of [...]]]></description>

Robin Hood Gardens likely to be demolished: The decision by culture minister Margaret Hodge not to list Poplar&#8217;s Robin Hood Gardens as &#8216;a building of special architectural signficance&#8217; brings the demolition of the 1970s&#8217; Brutalist block a stage closer. Alison and Peter Smithson&#8217;s housing estate, completed in 1972, is a masterpiece to some, with its [...]]]></description>

A frustratingly brief piece pops up on the radar courtesy of the Press Association, saying that seven paintings by the late East End gangster Ronnie Kray are set to be auctioned. However there&#8217;s very little in the way of what, where and by who, so if anybody knows anything, please post a comment to this [...]]]></description>

I stumbled across a terrific documentary on BBC1 last night, covering the work of the doughty officers who work out of Wapping&#8217;s River Police station. The programme, which the BBC in an admirable lack of hype had simply called River Police followed them over the course of a day, with handheld cameras. The work, unsurprisingly, [...]]]></description>

On 28 December 1911 a man stumbled into Leman Street Police Station and announced he had come to help the police with their enquiries into a particularly gruesome double murder … that of Hanbury Street restauranteurs Solomon and Annie Milstein.
Even the rudimentary policing standards of the day couldn’t miss the clues in this case. For [...]]]></description>

Row over East End&#8217;s secret skyscrapers: Shoreditch residents and architecture experts have attacked the &#8216;astonishing secrecy&#8217; surrounding plans to build a cluster of skyscrapers on Bishopsgate Goods Yard. Developers Hammerson and Ballymore are understood to be behind two tower blocks planned for the largely derelict Bishopsgate Goods Yard, while another is on the drawing board [...]]]></description>

When Scotland met Poplar: Two hundred years ago, the area east of the City was still farmland and market gardens, with villages such as Bow and Bethnal Green, Stepney and Limehouse among the fields. Ribbon developments were snaking out along the main highways, such as the Whitechapel and East India Dock Roads, and soon the [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s one of the most iconic moments in British film. A large, muscular man in shorts swings a huge hammer to ring a bigger gong and another Rank movie begins. There were four &#8216;gongmen&#8217; down the years, and the second was a true East End boxing hero, the first man to win a Lonsdale Belt, [...]]]></description>

East End singer Richard Leon Isaac Vapnick had an unlikely name for dance band singer. So, like many Jewish entertainers before him, he went for something shorter, snappier and blandly English. With the more poster-friendly moniker of Dick James, the Whitechapel born songster had a steady if unspectacular career. James performed with Henry Hall&#8217;s band [...]]]></description>
