Rainham,<\/strong> Purfleet, Thurrock & Ponders End<\/strong>: On Saturday 11th December 1993 I took a train from Fenchurch Street to Rainham and then walked along by the river to Coldharbour Point. There the path stopped and I returned to Rainham and took the train to Purfleet where I could pick up the riverside path again and walk on to Grays. Probably I walked about 9 miles in all and by the time I finished it I think the light would have been fading, with sunset at around 4pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this walk I made a little over 200 black and white images, a selection of which you can find on Flickr in my 1993 London album beginning here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are more colour images from this walk, including a number of panoramas, mixed with pictures from other occasions starting here on the final two pages<\/a> of my Flickr album of colour pictures from 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But today I found some more pictures from that walk at the start of my album 1994 London Colour<\/em> and I’ll share these in this post. They will have come from a cassette of film which I took in 1993 but only developed a month or so later in 1994. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final image in today’s post is something completely different on the same film, a shop window in Ponders End which I found it strangely weird. As it is on the same film as the others I think it was probably also taken in December 1993 although my caption stated 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
