Docklands and the Thames,
Victoria Park to Paternoster
Square. Take a nostalgic
trip back to the East End in
the 1950’s or a stroll around
the Square Mile of the City
of London. It’s all here at
barryoneoff.co.uk
A brief history of the
original “Square Mile”
from Roman times
onward. As my interest
in the City grew, so did
the content. My interest
grew so much that in 2008 I joined a City
University course to become an official City
of London tour guide, and passed the exams
in 2009. Go there >>
’London’s East End.
Pick up a bit of rhyming
slang, learn about
today’s changing East
End or see what we got
up to as East End kids in the 1950’s. If
you’re too young to remember the 50’s then
have a look, it might surprise you. If you are
old enough to remember those days it may
bring back a few nostalgic memories. Go

Patriotic? Feeling gagged by
so called political correctness?
Think it's racist to fly the Cross
of St. George? Or just want
some information about the
patron saint of England? If so,
this is the page to go to. There
is also a list of our Kings and Queens
through the ages. Go there >>
Sad news today, 9th. September 2022. As
I update this web site, Queen Elizabeth II
has died. Long live King Charles III.
The Victorians in London.
The last section to be added
to the site, and was
inevitable really. It leads off
from both the East end, and
the City pages to give a small
insight into the great Victorian age. The vast
gap between classes, caused by one thing
only; money! The Victorians were also good
at sweeping things under the carpet to
prevent feeling guilty. Go there >>

Hi, my name's Barry
and I'm based in
Bethnal Green in Tower
Hamlets, the heart of
London's East End
(England).
If you have visited the
site before August 2022
you will notice a very
great change to the layout. Full details on the
updates page, but basically I had to rebuild the
complete site due to a hard drive crash and
loss of data.
I hope visitors will find my site interesting,
informative, entertaining and sometimes
educational.
If you want to know about Cockney kids in the
1950's East End or the history of The City of
London this is the site to bookmark.
The name One-off came about when I used to
design and print individual greetings cards and
Tee shirts. Now it’s a one-off photo print or the
occasional web site.
