Please could I try to persuade you to upload your pictures to the Commons ( [1]) instead? I know its a bit of extra effort creating an account there, but they can be used by other languages.

On workhouses, the old Hackney Hospital, which I have a pic of, at Homerton was a workhouse before it was a hospital. (I have a feeling it never recovered from its early grim assocation of being forced 'on to the parish'.) Think that there must be many others that found health or municipal uses after the repeal of the Poor Law.
I haven't done much web research here yet, but the workhouses with most historical resonance would be those in Tower Hamlets. I've just been reading East End 1888, by William J Fishman, which deals with the Poor Law in some depth. (This is a great social history). It has a shot of the Poplar Workhouse, but this was on the West India Dock Road, so I don't know if it survived. Some of the others may have, will research. I know that The Sally Army refuge for unmarried mothers off the Lower Clapton road is still there.
A link from the Wikipedia Poor Law entry, http://www.workhouses.org.uk/, has a 'Then and Now' photo section. Quite an astonishing range of building styles, UK-wide, many of them so ungrim they are blatant modern des res. It shows that Mile End and Shoreditch workhouses, at least, survive, though I cannot place that Shoreditch site. Tarquin Binary 18:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Poplar Workhouse was demolished in 1960, see http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/Poplar/Poplar.shtml (some good overall London links here, see http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/map/london.html, note this is actually workhouses.org.uk, it just doesn't show so on Google). The 1904 pic is the one Fishman uses. It looks grim, but oddly he reports that it was the most pleasant of the Tower Hamlets workhouses. On that note, most of Fishman's pics, including that one, are reproduced courtesy of Tower Hamlets Library (Local History Collection), who might be persuaded to supply material. (Peter Higginbotham is the site owner, I don't see how he has copyright on that shot, but he seems to be suppyling a great resource, at least, Shoreditch workhouse is in fact deeply familiar, I just didn't know it had been one).

Can you still faintly see the camouflage paint from the war on the part of this nearest Clissold Park? If you knew it was there you could just make it out a few years back when I last looked. I am sure it has faded a lot over the years, but originally they must have tried to dissguise the whole building as part of the park. Justinc 11:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
I have added commons:Category:London municipal architecture but havent had a chance to add much to it yet (its a bit redbrick). Also note you can add [[Category:Hackney]] etc for those - the categories are a bit sparse now, and lots of pictures are not categorised, but its a start - will do a trawl through the London pictures at some point.

Thanks for your reply to my note.

Thanks Peter Shearan 09:01, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Got your message just after I'd done a major edit. Please have a look and see if anything needs fixing. I think the structure is better now. Some of the text had some snobby undertones before hopefully most of that is gone. Yeah I'm happy with your definition. I hope the page can be something of the style of a bit of narrative about changing definitions over time, then a list of possible - and quite prescriptive - definitions, and finally the list of districts by borough in the table showing the "core" areas all definitions agree on and the "fringe" districts which occur in some.
And as for Canary Wharf. What troubles me is that on the platform of the tube station one side says "TO STRATFORD" and the other "TO CENTRAL LONDON" so that makes out definition somewhat dubious. :) 18:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I was sure KT had been dechaved before, but thanks for (re?)doing it. You are right the pubs were better. The Pineapple is good again (after closure) though not quite the same. The Lord Stanley is good, but not really Kentish Town, being across Camden Road. Quinns has got better, well not changed but the Camden people have stopped coming there, and they still have the best selection of German and Belgian beers in London (the Dove by London Fields perhaps has more Belgian, and a fine endorsement from the Belgian ambassador, and possibly some writing on the roof, but no German beer). But the ones on the high street are really bad, and while the Abbey Tavern no longer has people arriving from Essex in stretch limos I still havent been in in 10 years (although Pevsner comments on its jocular brickwork). The Assembly House looks better now after a bad patch. And of course the famous Castle with its (long gone) pleasure gardens, well the locals were complaining not about that name change but the one after, when it stopped being a 50s quiff club. I have mostly ignored the article, other than wondering where the apostrophe goes in the old ladies clothes shop, vauely thinking I might rewrite it completely (sometime after British cuisine).

Denys Lasdun needs illustrating. Which could be Keeling House.

Have just discovered (and had to therefore write an article on) Ian Nairn, Pevsner's nemesis, English beer drinker to Pevsner's German efficiency. His book Nairn's London (the only one I have so far, in a crap reprint that doesnt have the photos, have to get the original) is wonderful, hilarious, 450 places he loves or hates in London, passageways, pubs, power stations. His areas are larger, sparser than Pevsner's, with mentions of the nearest pub or bar. And he doesnt list anywhere not open to the public; either that or tells you where to go around the back and peer in. Justinc 22:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I've been watching your discussions on parishes of the Metropolitan area / county of London. I was wonderiing how to seperate the civil part from the church descriptions myself. I have a deal of info on these. If they put an extra day in the week I could even try making a map. I wonder if they shouldn't be seperated as *Name of parish* (church) and *Name of parish* (parish) articles, but linked, or if there should be a template with a section describing the church and then another on the civil admin. Not sure. I can (one day soon) provide a List of Civil Parishes in the Metropolis / County of London 1855 -1899. Not sure about the title tho'... Lozleader 09:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Oh dear! Shoreditch certainly *was not* administered by 21 parish councils. There was only one civil parish (St. Leonard), whose vestry took on local administration. The parishes listed are *ecclesiatical parishes*, and had no local government role. I don't think any parish formed after the 1830s was ever used in a civil role. I don't think this is the place for them - but where? Lozleader 19:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I stuck the parish information on its ownio at Shoreditch (parish). Plenty of churches for you to shoot - tho' they may be gone or carpet warehouses by now! Needs cats now...
Incidentally I have ancestors from St. Luke's - my ggggrandfather was still giving his birthplace as "St. Luke's, Middlesex" in the 1891 census, so it must have had some meaning then.

On second thoughts, I'd best post my reply here ...
Pic looks about right. On the other matter, I quite agree that it is a distraction. The person concerned has strong views, and pays little heed to consensus. We've talked before about the need for substance in so many articles, they are now turning into so many Chinese-style precooked ready meals ... my PoV on the changes; there is work to be done on those topics, but this is being done in an inappropriate way and without thought to structue. I still blame you for pointing me at Stamford Hill, it was trench warfare developing a NPoV article. For the rest, always better - and more satisfying - to concentrate on what interests you. I did an awful lot of non-contentious stuff on theatres this month - the barnstar came from that, although what is the point of gold stars. If I were better with graphics, maybe a ripe cheese could be awarded - wake up one morning to find a stinking bishop on your page!
Hopefully, there is light at the end of the tunnel, two seasoned editors are on the point of producing a way forward for UK cities that doesn't rely on Cheesie flavoured nibbles. Once all the rows on UK-templates are out of the way. Kbthompson 09:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.
If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.
The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.
Yours,

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

The media file you uploaded as File:Mama interior.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.
It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

On workhouses, the old Hackney Hospital, which I have a pic of, at Homerton was a workhouse before it was a hospital. (I have a feeling it never recovered from its early grim assocation of being forced 'on to the parish'.) Think that there must be many others that found health or municipal uses after the repeal of the Poor Law.
I haven't done much web research here yet, but the workhouses with most historical resonance would be those in Tower Hamlets. I've just been reading East End 1888, by William J Fishman, which deals with the Poor Law in some depth. (This is a great social history). It has a shot of the Poplar Workhouse, but this was on the West India Dock Road, so I don't know if it survived. Some of the others may have, will research. I know that The Sally Army refuge for unmarried mothers off the Lower Clapton road is still there.
A link from the Wikipedia Poor Law entry, http://www.workhouses.org.uk/, has a 'Then and Now' photo section. Quite an astonishing range of building styles, UK-wide, many of them so ungrim they are blatant modern des res. It shows that Mile End and Shoreditch workhouses, at least, survive, though I cannot place that Shoreditch site. Tarquin Binary 18:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Poplar Workhouse was demolished in 1960, see http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/Poplar/Poplar.shtml (some good overall London links here, see http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/map/london.html, note this is actually workhouses.org.uk, it just doesn't show so on Google). The 1904 pic is the one Fishman uses. It looks grim, but oddly he reports that it was the most pleasant of the Tower Hamlets workhouses. On that note, most of Fishman's pics, including that one, are reproduced courtesy of Tower Hamlets Library (Local History Collection), who might be persuaded to supply material. (Peter Higginbotham is the site owner, I don't see how he has copyright on that shot, but he seems to be suppyling a great resource, at least, Shoreditch workhouse is in fact deeply familiar, I just didn't know it had been one).

Can you still faintly see the camouflage paint from the war on the part of this nearest Clissold Park? If you knew it was there you could just make it out a few years back when I last looked. I am sure it has faded a lot over the years, but originally they must have tried to dissguise the whole building as part of the park. Justinc 11:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
I have added commons:Category:London municipal architecture but havent had a chance to add much to it yet (its a bit redbrick). Also note you can add [[Category:Hackney]] etc for those - the categories are a bit sparse now, and lots of pictures are not categorised, but its a start - will do a trawl through the London pictures at some point.

Thanks for your reply to my note.

Got your message just after I'd done a major edit. Please have a look and see if anything needs fixing. I think the structure is better now. Some of the text had some snobby undertones before hopefully most of that is gone. Yeah I'm happy with your definition. I hope the page can be something of the style of a bit of narrative about changing definitions over time, then a list of possible - and quite prescriptive - definitions, and finally the list of districts by borough in the table showing the "core" areas all definitions agree on and the "fringe" districts which occur in some.
And as for Canary Wharf. What troubles me is that on the platform of the tube station one side says "TO STRATFORD" and the other "TO CENTRAL LONDON" so that makes out definition somewhat dubious. :) 18:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I was sure KT had been dechaved before, but thanks for (re?)doing it. You are right the pubs were better. The Pineapple is good again (after closure) though not quite the same. The Lord Stanley is good, but not really Kentish Town, being across Camden Road. Quinns has got better, well not changed but the Camden people have stopped coming there, and they still have the best selection of German and Belgian beers in London (the Dove by London Fields perhaps has more Belgian, and a fine endorsement from the Belgian ambassador, and possibly some writing on the roof, but no German beer). But the ones on the high street are really bad, and while the Abbey Tavern no longer has people arriving from Essex in stretch limos I still havent been in in 10 years (although Pevsner comments on its jocular brickwork). The Assembly House looks better now after a bad patch. And of course the famous Castle with its (long gone) pleasure gardens, well the locals were complaining not about that name change but the one after, when it stopped being a 50s quiff club. I have mostly ignored the article, other than wondering where the apostrophe goes in the old ladies clothes shop, vauely thinking I might rewrite it completely (sometime after British cuisine).

Denys Lasdun needs illustrating. Which could be Keeling House.

Have just discovered (and had to therefore write an article on) Ian Nairn, Pevsner's nemesis, English beer drinker to Pevsner's German efficiency. His book Nairn's London (the only one I have so far, in a crap reprint that doesnt have the photos, have to get the original) is wonderful, hilarious, 450 places he loves or hates in London, passageways, pubs, power stations. His areas are larger, sparser than Pevsner's, with mentions of the nearest pub or bar. And he doesnt list anywhere not open to the public; either that or tells you where to go around the back and peer in. Justinc 22:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I've been watching your discussions on parishes of the Metropolitan area / county of London. I was wonderiing how to seperate the civil part from the church descriptions myself. I have a deal of info on these. If they put an extra day in the week I could even try making a map. I wonder if they shouldn't be seperated as *Name of parish* (church) and *Name of parish* (parish) articles, but linked, or if there should be a template with a section describing the church and then another on the civil admin. Not sure. I can (one day soon) provide a List of Civil Parishes in the Metropolis / County of London 1855 -1899. Not sure about the title tho'... Lozleader 09:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Oh dear! Shoreditch certainly *was not* administered by 21 parish councils. There was only one civil parish (St. Leonard), whose vestry took on local administration. The parishes listed are *ecclesiatical parishes*, and had no local government role. I don't think any parish formed after the 1830s was ever used in a civil role. I don't think this is the place for them - but where? Lozleader 19:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I stuck the parish information on its ownio at Shoreditch (parish). Plenty of churches for you to shoot - tho' they may be gone or carpet warehouses by now! Needs cats now...
Incidentally I have ancestors from St. Luke's - my ggggrandfather was still giving his birthplace as "St. Luke's, Middlesex" in the 1891 census, so it must have had some meaning then.

On second thoughts, I'd best post my reply here ...
Pic looks about right. On the other matter, I quite agree that it is a distraction. The person concerned has strong views, and pays little heed to consensus. We've talked before about the need for substance in so many articles, they are now turning into so many Chinese-style precooked ready meals ... my PoV on the changes; there is work to be done on those topics, but this is being done in an inappropriate way and without thought to structue. I still blame you for pointing me at Stamford Hill, it was trench warfare developing a NPoV article. For the rest, always better - and more satisfying - to concentrate on what interests you. I did an awful lot of non-contentious stuff on theatres this month - the barnstar came from that, although what is the point of gold stars. If I were better with graphics, maybe a ripe cheese could be awarded - wake up one morning to find a stinking bishop on your page!
Hopefully, there is light at the end of the tunnel, two seasoned editors are on the point of producing a way forward for UK cities that doesn't rely on Cheesie flavoured nibbles. Once all the rows on UK-templates are out of the way. Kbthompson 09:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

You said that you might like to help with the splitting of the History of London article. I meant to do this ages ago but kept getting distracted.

Hello,
I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.
If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.
The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.
Yours,

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

The media file you uploaded as File:Mama interior.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.
It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).
