East End Photographs and Drawings

[Celesta]

Whether or not one puts any stock in the Royals theory of Ripperology, it's part of the history of research into he WC murders, so it's interesting to see these photos. Almost any photos related to London of that time period are interesting to me.

Cellar of the White Hart (Klosowski's barbershop), 19th Feb 2010. It's the only part of the cellar that you can stand up straight in!


This corner was where the door originally was which led down from an entrance in Gunthorpe Street.

I had a drink in there for the first time (The White Hart) on New Years Eve - do you know the barman/owner? Or did you just ask?

Not quite the East-End ...

That's because it's the 'West End'.

But, so what? I believe our 'focus' on the 'East End', in our quest to better understand the mystery of 'Jack the Ripper', amounts to nothing less than 'tunnel-vision'.

I go there a lot. I just asked the guv'nor if m_w_r and I could see the cellar - gave him our 'credentials' and he was fine, as long as it was during a quiet time. He said he gets asked 4-5 times a week!

Didn't Vic Reeves take a psychic down there in his Sky documentary?

[Andrew Firth]

Great pics there John. Many thanks for posting them.

Now, with regards to your "credentials", would they work on the London Job if we tried to get into the Pinchin Street arch, or the board school building on Durward Street....?

And what exactly are these "credentials" of which you speak?

All the best

Oh, I just made it clear we weren't 'tourists'!

Great hairdressers- and great supplies- better than the ' Would you like a coffee?'

It's very possible - but that would also include the 'credentials' of all the London Job attendees, which would be pretty impressive as it stands at the moment.

Worth making enquiries I reckon.
