Survey of London staff have received great help from many quarters in their work on the Poplar volumes, and the names of persons and institutions to whom it is indebted are given below. However, special mention must be made here of certain individuals, without whose help the Survey's work would have been impossible. Particular thanks are thus due to Bob Aspinall, Alex Werner and other staff of the Museum of London's Museum in Docklands Project; to Christopher Lloyd, Harry Whatton, Jerome Farrell and other staff of the Tower Hamlets Local History Library, Bancroft Road; and to Joan Coburn, Eileen Cobb, Richard Samways, Geoffrey Pick, Deborah Jenkins, Christopher Denvir and the staff of the Greater London Record Office and History Library. All were unfailingly helpful and courteous in making available to us the records in their custody.
