WHAT DO THESE IMAGES MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT THE EAST END?

SOME COMMENTS>>>

What Ben Jonson pupils, Fateha, Rima, Saiful & Rahad have said about the Mile End Road images:

“In the old picture there’s one or two cars, there was no traffic. It is very different now, the road is very busy now.”

“In the old picture they don’t have fences down the road, there’s no road markings, and no traffic lights.”


“The buildings are different, the old photo has a tower, the new one doesn’t.”

“There’s no Tram now. You can see a bus”

“The old photo doesn’t have advertisements.”

“Now, there are many more different types of cars.”
