History by Time Period
(If it's London and it spans many time periods look for it under London in History by Locale)
sub-groups:

Anything that spans the gap between a period will probably be placed into the earlier group, but check both if you don't see what you're looking for. Titles followed by a person's name are online texts of books (i.e.: A Journal of the Plague Year - Daniel Defoe ). Also check under People for names of individuals as well as the sub-groups under The Cast; as well as the various organisations, etc., under The Bigger Picture.

And when I stand by Charing Cross
I can forget to hear
The crash of all those smoking wheels,
When those cold flutes and clear
Pipe with such fury down the street,
My hands grow moist with fear.

And there's a hall in Bloomsbury
No more I dare to tread,
For all the stone men shout at me
And swear they are not dead;
And once I touched a broken girl
And knew that marble bled.

James Elroy Flecker (1884-1915), writer Oak and Olive (1915)
