“Courtly ideas of Covent Garden, as a place with famous coffee-houses, where gentlemen wearing gold- laced coats and swords had quarrelled and fought duels; costly ideas of Covent Garden, as a place where there were flowers in winter at guineas a-piece, pine-apples at guineas a pound, and peas at guineas a pint; picturesque ideas of Covent Garden, as a place where there was a mighty theatre, showing wonderful and beautiful sights to richly-dressed ladies and gentlemen, and which was for ever far beyond the reach of poor Fanny or poor uncle; desolate ideas of Covent Garden, as having all those arches in it, where the miserable children in rags among whom she had just now passed, like young rats, slunk and hid, fed on offal, huddled together for warmth, and were hunted about (look to the rats young and old, all ye Barnacles, for before God they are eating away our foundations, and will bring the roofs on our heads!”

“Little Dorrit” Charles Dickens - 1855

This photograph shows the south side of Wellington Street, formerly Flagon Row. What remains of it is now known as McMillan Street. The houses were demolished in 1896 to make way for an extension of Creek Road east to the end of Evelyn Street.

it is christmas 1926..... here is the display of geese and turkeys outside one particular butcher's shop in Marmion Road Southsea, Hants. The shop was called McCreary's, and the proud staff pose outside the shop along with their Christmas wares.

As the RMS Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, 19-year-old Jeremiah Burke from Glanmire, County Cork, tossed a message in a holy water bottle into the Atlantic. The note read: “From Titanic, goodbye all, Burke of Glanmire, Cork.”

A year later, the bottle washed ashore in Dunkettle—just a few miles from Burke’s family home. It was found with one of his bootlaces tied around it, a haunting trace of his final moments. Burke had been traveling to America with his cousin Nora Hegarty to reunite with family in Boston; both perished in the tragedy.

The bottle remained with the Burke family for nearly a century, a deeply personal relic of loss and remembrance. In 2011, his niece Mary Woods donated it to the Cobh Heritage Centre, where it now forms part of the Titanic exhibition, preserving Jeremiah’s farewell for generations to come.
