Residents and people with an interest in the history of London’s East End can now access a host of photographs from the area’s past online at the Idea Store website run by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The gallery contains a selection of images from over 25,000 held in the council’s archives, with some images dating back to the 19th century. The images were selected from Tower Hamlets Local Studies and Archives. Digital copies can be e-mailed free of charge, whilst hard copies can be obtained at a cost. Hard copies of the images along with further local history documents are housed at Bancroft Library, 277 Bancroft Road, E1 4DQ.
