The Isle of Dogs in London has changed almost beyond recognition in the last 20 years. Mike Lemmerman’s book is an A to Z of many of the disappeared and disappearing Island buildings, roads, firms, schools, churches and more….with all entries accompanied by concise descriptions, and the book as a whole complemented by a collection of historic photographs.
A record of the Isle of Dogs before the arrival of the shiny new financial centre around Canary Wharf. And for Islanders, a walk down memory lane (and probably even some surprises).
The George opened in 1865, and was rebuilt in 1932. The pub was visited by American actress Jayne Mansfield. Photo: Mick Lemmerman
