Photos of London 1877 working day people...

[grangers14]

They are images of devastating poverty and life on London's streets that look like they come straight from the pages of a Charles Dickens book.
The collection, taken by pioneering photojournalist John Thomson in 1877, show what life was really like for thousands of Londoners in Victorian Britain.
Unlike most pictures taken at the time, they show the daily grind and backbreaking work undertaken by the capital's working-classes.

I have just been looking through this... amazing!
