Derelict London Tour of Limehouse & Poplar with Author Paul Talling

This 5 1/2 hour extended tour views the exteriors of sites covered in Paul's Derelict London book such as the decaying premises of sail makers Caird & Rayner & the soon to be refurbished art deco Poplar Baths. Other sites include the remains of St Saviours Church which survived the Blitz but not a recent fire, the Limehouse Accumulator tower built in 1869 for regulating one of the first hydraulic power systems. We pass some 1970s graffiti proclaiming that "George Davis is Innocent", numerous derelict shops and industrial units, redundant pub & shop signs in odd places and stories of the mysterious Black Ditch which is featured in Paul's other book London's Lost Rivers.
