Huguenot wills and administrations in England and Ireland 1617-1849
A resource for people who are researching Huguenot ancestors, this book includes three sections English wills, Irish wills and administrations.
All wills were transcribed by Henry Wagner (1840-1926), all the comments are his and his variations in spelling are extensive, obviously replicating the wording of the original wills.
There is also a full index of names and places.

A 1960's Album
by Steve Lewis
Between 1963 and 1969, Steve Lewis, a former photographer for The Sun and the Newham Recorder, captured the East End in all its dilapidated glory.
He tilted his lens towards everything from the era's bomb-site reconstruction to its political graffiti daubed across walls east of the City and north of the Thames, the area traditionally considered to be the East End.
To mark his recent retirement from the business, the photographer has assembled an array of images from the time – miniskirted waifs, pearly kings and queens, even portraits of David Bailey in his book London's East End: A 1960s Album.
