velvetpage and I just finished watching the 1951 film, Scrooge on a very battered and fuzzy VHS tape. I realized it's actually been ages since I watched it, at least in the original version.

A while back, I was collecting photographs of 19th century London for a Castle Falkenstein game. Most of these were taken in the 1890s or, but some captured bits of London as it was in the time of Dickens. The poor sections of town were just as insanely labyrinthine as Dickens presented them - 200 year old houses, rotting to pieces, with a family in every room, backing on lanes or tidal canals that were glorified sewage ditches.

Here, have a couple!
