The Harrington’s of Florence Road

Born in the London Borough of Southwark, sisters Ellen and Mary Ann Harrington became orphaned as young girls after their parents had both died. They remained close and in the late 19th century were together again at Florence Road in Leytonstone, East London.

Rows of brick terraced homes lined Florence Road and the area as far as one could see. Built in 1879 this working-class housing block ran between Cathall Road and Trinity Street.

How to switch to a lifetime plan

A monthly or yearly subscription can’t be converted into a lifetime plan directly. Instead, you cancel the subscription and then buy the lifetime plan using the same email address.

Cancelling does not cut off your access. Your subscription keeps working until the end of the period you have already paid for, so you never pay twice for the same time.
