The Circus Tavern in Purfleet was the venue of the PDC World Darts Championships from its inauguration event in 1994, up until 2007, and broadcast on Sky Sports. Phil Taylor reached the final in all 14 of the PDC World Darts Championship tournaments that were held at the Circus Tavern, winning 11 of those 14 finals. The last World Championship match held at the Circus Tavern was the 2007 PDC World Darts Championship final, where Raymond van Barneveld came from 0–3 down in sets to defeat Phil Taylor, 7–6 in sets, after a sudden death leg.

The north bank is solid marsh from Silvertown to Tilbury. Much of the south bank is too, but this has not been depicted so much by the cartographer.

A pioneer of modern photographic journalism, he was one of the first to use small format cameras (Leica). In 1944 he was sent to Auschwitz, dying there along with his wife and his son Credit: Erich Salomon TUM image id: 1713273355 Licence:	A map a day for the month of May Political map of the County of London (1930). That section of Woolwich north of the Thames, surrounded by Essex was quite an interesting anomaly. The borough had inherited these two exclaves from Kent when the borders of the new County of London had been drawn up in 1888. They continued to make no sense whatsoever until 1965 when the arrival of the Greater London Council abolished them, assigning them to Newham. TUM image id: 1713790993 Licence:

The ship took around five years to build, and the photograph captures her near completion but still surrounded by cranes. The image was published with the title ‘Where Great Ships are Built’. Chambré Hardman set up a photographic studio in Liverpool in the early 1920s. With the help of his wife Margaret it went on to become a thriving business, specialising in both studio and street photography. The photograph is part of a large and outstanding collection, and Chambré Hardman’s studio and home at 59 Rodney Street in the centre of Liverpool are owned and run by the National Trust.
