Pre war Stoke city worn by Frank Soo. He was the first player of Chinese descent to play in the football league and even represented England in a wartime international. A fascinating trailblazer who later became a manager, mainly in Scandinavia.

St Paula church yard. One of the things I miss about London is being able to pop into the square mile. History from Roman times and layer on layer of it since.
