I was lucky enough to finish work quite early tonight, so I walked up to the workwear place I found last week to take some photos. It is a warehouse inside and looks like a busy place. I then decided to keep walking in the same direction. It was an interesting street with graffiti/street art, tattoo parlours, a shop called 'Duke of Uke' that sells ukeleles and all sorts of little arty shops and vintage clothes shops. It joins Brick Lane, so now I have a better mental map of the area and how it all connects. Then, at the point where I joined Brick Lane, there was a great junk shop which I spent a happy 20 minutes in, coming away with a lady on a donkey doll, and a lady on a sledge, pretty, wintery figurine. There is no helping me. Then I walked back around and joined Bethnal Green Road to go back to the tube.
This is the end of the street-Cheshire Street I discovered. I love how the street signs in this area are in Bengali and English.
This is back near Bethnal Green Road.
The blur makes him look as if he has wings!

wonderful to have a glimpse of your wandering. the shops sound like shops i would enjoy. the paintings on the buildings are interesting as well. thanks for sharing your world.
It DOES look a bit dangerous for that poor little dog! But I'm sure he/she loves the ride.
Some of those street art pieces have been up for ages -- the RUN piece on Grimsby, the three-eyed cat. It's nice to see them lasting so well.
So sweet! It used to be a lot more common, years ago, to see dogs in the baskets of bikes, or with their heads out of windows in cars. Lovely! Ros
