  • Here is a video of Petticoat Lane from 1903. My apologies if it has already been posted. This particular youtube channel, London Screen Archive, has 123 videos of old London (but only a handful are turn of the century). I've been trying to watch as many as possible.

    I think that Monty might have posted the same film, but regional restrictions prevented me watching his.

      • Since I can't delete completely my post I'm putting up this footage of Queen Victoria 1896 and Jubilee Celebration 1897. Hope it's not been seen here before.

          Crossbones has its own website.



          It's in Union St, Southwark, same road as George Chapman had a pub and murdered one of his girlfriends.

                I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

                        • London 1927 in colour!

                          Not much that is East End or directly Jack related, but I think some of you will be interested in this short colour film shot in London in 1927 - less than 40 years after Jack stalked the streets!

                            • Strangers Home Limehouse

                              The Star 13th Sept 1888
                              A Japanese named Supiwajan was charged at the Thames Court with cutting and wounding Ellen Norton, 9, Jamaica-passage, Limehouse. The woman's head was bandaged, and she said last night she was in the Coach and Horses beershop, West India Dock-road, and heard screams by the Asiatic Home. She went out and saw the accused about to stab her friend, and rushed forward and got the knife into her own head. She had been drinking, but not in the Jap's company. Her friend's name was Emily Shepherd, and this young woman was called, and said the Jap came up and said to her, "If you go away from me to-night I will rip you up, the same as the woman was served in the Whitechapel-road." She screamed out, when the prosecutrix ran up. The accused then said, "If I can't have her I'll have you," and stabbed Norton in the head with the long bladed knife. He then kicked witness, and afterwards broke a plate-glass window at the Strangers' Home. - Mr. Lushington committed the prisoner for trial.

                              The Strangers Home The handsome and commodious building in West India Dock road, Limehouse, belonging to the Strangers' Home for Asiatics, Africans, and South Sea Islanders, has lately been, repaired and enlarged, so as to complete its original design.
                              The institution was founded in 1856, under the patronage of the Prince Consort, and established at a cost of £16,000, one third of which was contributed by native Indian princes, gentlemen, or merchant, and a great part of the remainder by English gentlemen connected with the government of India, or by English merchants and shipowners concerned in the Indian trade.
                              It offers, not gratis, but for ten or fourteen shillings a week, the comforts of a well-managed lodging and boarding house to sailors, servants, and others from the Eastern world, with perfect safety against the fraud, robbery, and ill-treatment to which they would otherwise be exposed in London.
                              More than 6000 person, from India, China, East and West Africa, the Malayan peninsula and islands, and those of the South Pacific, have been sheltered in this institution.
                              Of these 1124 were casuals, and 1149 were destitute creatures, taken off the streets, or from hospitals, gaols, and workhouses.
