Here is a rare excursion outside his beloved Bethnal Green for Albert Turpin, the majority of whose work was almost entirely located within the borough. This is "St Pancras Old Church" by him from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

This one is a great favourite of mine: "The Hertford Union Canal" (AKA Duckett's Cut) by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

This is "Re-building Bethnal Green" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. The building to the extreme right is the frontage of the old Cricketer's pub on Cricketer's Bridge on Old Ford Road as you'll see, courtesy of Street View #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

This is "Half Moon Passage" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. I found the old photo of the scene on Pinterest. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

This is "South Hackney Church" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. Previous conversations on our social media platforms have identified it as being St John of Jerusalem Church on Lauriston Road. #AlbertTurpin #Hackney #EastLondonGroup

Good afternoon, Lena @lenadour.bsky.social & its my pleasure, thank you. Yes, Albert Turpin was a keen observer of his surroundings in his beloved Bethnal Green. Here's his slightly later painting of "Re-building St Matthew's Church" which must date from between 1958 & 1961, I believe. #AlbertTurpin

This is "St Matthew's Church" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely in the early to mid 1950s prior to the church being rebuilt after it suffered bomb damage during WW2. One can see in the painting that the windows have been blown out. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

Today is the 89th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street so here's "Cable Street" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely to mid to late 1950s. This is actually a view of Grace's Alley, just off Cable Street. #AlbertTurpin #BattleofCableStreet #EastLondonGroup

With autumn seemingly waiting in the wings for us, here's one that is a great favourite of mine: "The Bridge to the Pagoda, Victoria Park" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. The old suspension bridge was replaced a little while later. #AlbertTurpin

This is "Shakey's Yard in Summer" by Albert Turpin. It was a view from the window in his flat in Claredale House so it was something that Albert would have known intimately. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

Today would have been Albert Turpin's birthday: he was born on 20th August 1900 in Ravenscroft Buildings. He served in the Rifle Brigade & Marines during WW1 & then worked as a window-cleaner. He served in the London Fire Brigade during WW2 & was Mayor of Bethnal Green in 1946. #botd #AlbertTurpin

This is "Columbia Market" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. Sadly, this grand range of buildings was demolished in 1958 & the only remaining trace of their existence is a set of iron railings & gateposts at Columbia Market Nursery School. #AlbertTurpin

Somewhat later than intended this morning, here's a great favourite of mine: "Sally" by Albert Turpin from c.1927. "Sally" was Albert's wife, Sarah Jane, which may explain the intensity of the portrait. I've also attached a quote from Albert which makes for interesting reading. #AlbertTurpin

This is "Stop Lock Bridge" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

This is "Salmon & Ball" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work: most likely the mid to late 1950s. Albert was a window-cleaner (first photo) who went on to become Mayor of Bethnal Green in 1946 (second photo). #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup #BethnalGreen

Good morning, Jo @sevenpitches.bsky.social & thank you, that is most kind. Here's one that I hope you'll like: this is "The Hackney Empire" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid 1950s. #AlbertTurpin #HackneyEmpire #EastLondonGroup

This is a great favourite of mine from Albert Turpin's post-war work: "The Hertford Union Canal" by him from the mid to late 1950s. The reflections in the water are lovely & the ripples on the surface from where someone has thrown in a stone just tops it off. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

Good morning, Tom @leftwithnoparty.bsky.social & thank you. Yes, Albert Turpin was one of the few Group members to include people in his work. Here's another piece of his that has recently come to light, in a similar vein. This is "Sandwich Men" by him from 1930. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

Here's a piece that I had thought might have been "lost" but, I'm very pleased to say that it has recently come to light! This is listed as "Gin & Music" by Albert Turpin & it most likely dates from 1929. It is in the collection at the Southwark Heritage Centre. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

Good morning, Jan @janjonesauthor.bsky.social & thank you. If it is #SundayMorning", maybe this one of people fishing in the canal in Albert Turpin's painting of "Skew Bridge" might be appropriate. It most likely dates from the mid to late 1950s. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup #canal #bridge
