Reflections of the past: Silvertown and Canning Town from the sky

Picture Post: This view of Silvertown Way was captured in 1938 and shows how the area looked before the Second World War began a year later.

The pictures is part of the Britain From Above series which is on the Historic England Website.

It’s one of over 5,000 pictures shared by me daily over the last five years on the Heritage Newham – People, Places, Progress Facebook and Twitter pages.

I post them all on my personal Facebook Page as well.
