This compilation of over 180 photographs explores one of inner London's former Metropolitan Boroughs, and by the use of comparison images reveals some of the changes which have taken place to it in over a century. The particular style of Marylebone's streets is celebrated here, such as Baker Street, whose fictional detective gained the street worldwide recognition, and Oxford Street, effectively London's 'High Street'. Memories of horse-filled streets and local traders are revived alongside the pubs, concert halls, and transportation of yesteryear to give an intriguing and nostalgic portrait of what is now a characterful part of the modern City of Westminster.
