ReplyDeleteI see “Spaghetti House” in the distance, but I’m missing these. Can you say where?
ReplyDelete"Ludens" looks like its below the first "to let" sign, torn handbill. Upper right panel to left of "Ludens" has a chalk drawn game

That’s great! I saw the Limehouse sign in another tax photo, but it just wasn’t legible enough there. Thanks!
