David Sweetland is a well established London guide and writes the highly regarded blog, A London Inheritance, which documents his exploration of London using his father’s photographs of the city taken between 1946 and 1954. David attempts to identify the original locations of the photographs, show how and why these have changed and how the buildings, streets and underlying topography of the city have developed.
