Recently I was approached by The London Cockney Museum with regard to constructing a scale model of a street in the old East End of London. Also to build a scale model of the Cleveland Street work house which is linked with Charles Dickens and his novel Oliver Twist. The Work House has attracted much attention recently as it is the subject of a preservation initiative. I am pleased to say that I am able and happy to be involved in this exciting project, which starts in their mobile exhibition in a large Bendy bus, presently being fitted out in Kent.
The top image is a model of Red Lion Street Wapping, the bottom is the actual location in the early 1900s.
