Dugdale died in 1868 in the Clerkenwell House of Detention, a Victorian prison whose underground catacombs still survive but are sadly inaccessible to the public. By 1901 Holywell Street was gone, subsumed by the widening of the east end of the Strand. The new Aldwych that survives today was grander, more manageable yet a dull institutional London. The title explains precisely what this book is. The historian Philip Davies has done a lot of archival research and he's compiled an extensive collection of photos of buildings which had existed in London from 1870 through 1945 which have since been demolished. Philip Davies has written explanations of the histories of the buildings which are featured in this book, including the reasons that some of these buildings were demolished.

The Rayment Society have lists of London streets with changed names, arranged by both old and new names.

The biggest figure amongst Holywell Street’s publishers was William Dugdale – a forger, radical, plagiarist, pornographer and general shady character of the Victorian underworld. Henry Ashbee, the obsessive collector of erotica and works and also suspected to be Walter in My Secret Life – a sprawling secret sexual memoir of a Victorian gentleman, described Dugdale as “one of the most prolific publishers of filthy books”. The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies Cemetery Project includes a listing of Jewish cemeteries in and around London, and general information to aid the location of a burial.

In the year of 2012, the Year of London, this is simply a must-have book to buy, keep, and treasure. It's a wonderful collection of photographs of buildings long since disappeared from that city which never dies. Heartbreaking, yes, but also a way to see how London has evolved, through good and/or bad. Many of the original houses were converted for use as hospitals. The square today is largely occupied by hospital buildings.

[19] Q: [Turning to Lost in London, ] I suppose there may be a way you hoped the audience perceived the film in terms of it being live. Maybe you thought it would make them more involved in the story or add a bit of danger given the live aspect. I wonder how you envision the audience experience after the fact, now that they are watching it while it’s no longer being broadcast live. Replacement by a 1960s building led to loss of members and merger of the club with the Carlton Club.

Q: You mentioned that the danger you felt was more for you. And, understandably, going into a new endeavor can cause some fear.

And is it difficult to tell the difference sometimes?

By Matthew Brettingham. The restored Music Room is displayed in the Victoria and Albert Museum. [15] The exhibition comes at a time of crisis for LGBT venues. Work led by Campkin at University College London’s Urban Laboratory has shown that nightlife, in particular, has been hit hard. From 2006 to 2017, the number of LGBT clubs, bars and performance spaces in London dropped dramatically, from 121 to 51. The phenomenon defies easy explanation, but changing habits and the city’s seemingly unstoppable economic growth play a part. “Some of the media narratives were around technology and Gaydar, Grindr, how that’s changed everything,” says Campkin. “That didn’t really come up so much in the research we did … We noticed that, in a lot of the cases, there was a link to some kind of larger-scale development, or small-scale luxury residential development.”
