Tabernacle Street
Looking north from the junction with Epworth Street. A good run of former Victorian warehouses, all brick and of four or five storeys, plus a modern interloper, the one with flush, sleek blue glass.

The 'Windmill', Epworth Street, London
On the corner of Epworth Street and Tabernacle Street. A notice states that 'outside drinking is permitted until 9 pm.' and, thoughtfully, shelves have been fitted outside the windows so that drinkers can rest their beer glasses on them.

Fitzroy House, Epworth Street
Very long and low, grey-brick office block which takes up almost the whole block between here and Clere Street, on which it has an equally long front. Dating perhaps from the 1970s.

52-58 Tabernacle Street
Probably one of many former Victorian warehouses in the area which has found a new lease of life, in this case as offices. It is now called Friendly House. The ground floor is clearly modern.

North Face of the John Wesley Tomb
This photo shows the North Side of John Wesley's tomb behind Wesley's Chapel in City Road. The inscription reads as follows:
To the Memory of
THE VENERABLE JOHN WESLEY. A.M.
Late Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford.
This GREAT LIGHT arose
(By the singular Providence of God)
To enlighten THESE NATIONS,
And to revive, enforce, and defend,
The Pure Apostolical DOCTRINES and PRACTICES of
THE PRIMITIVE CHURCH:
Which he continued to do, both by his WRITINGS and his LABOURS
For more than HALF A CENTURY:
And to his inexpressible Joy,
Not only, beheld their INFLUENCE extending,
And their EFFICACY witness'd,
In the Hearts and Lives of MANY THOUSANDS,
As well in THE WESTERN WORLD as in THESE KINGDOMS;
But also far above all human Power of Expectation,
Liv'd to see PROVISION made by the singular Grace of GOD,
For their CONTINUANCE and ESTABLISHMENT,
TO THE JOY OF FUTURE GENERATIONS,
READER If thou art constrained to bless the INSTRUMENT,
GIVE GOD THE GLORY.
After having languished a few Days, He at length finished his COURSE
and his LIFE together. Gloriously triumphing over DEATH March 2nd
An Dom. 1791. in the Eighty eighth Year of his Age.
