As an owner of a property in Cloudesley Street we are becoming increasingly concerned about the asbo behaviour of many youths in Cloudesley street from setting fire to cars and motorbikes. We have a no. of tenants that wish to move because they fear for their own safety. I'd like to make the local police more aware of this and wondered who else would support me in making this happen. The more people who raise this with the police, the more effective policing becomes, hopefully.

NEW: Have a look at the latest link above - it's a blog by someone following in Bradshaw's footsteps a la Michael Portillo, but around the streets of London. This one just happens to be about the Cloudesley Estate and includes some very nice photos and interesting new material.

Hi Dirk

Yes, I'd love to see your old prints and I think it would be great to put them up on the website. If you already have them in digital form then just email them to me at either or and I'll do the rest. Any format will do - I can convert with Photoshop. Otherwise, I've got a scanner at 16 Cloudesley Square, or we could just take digital photos. Call me on 0207 833 8765 if you have any questions.

By the way - we're still waiting for your photo for the Who's Who section :-)

Kind regards, Nick

Hi Nick,
Fantastic web site. Great stuff. If you are interested I have lots of old prints of Islington eg night watchmans hut at the bifurcation of Upper and Lower(now Essex Road) Street, the Regents canal tunnel being built etc
