I had a mooch about in an area where I guess few Ripperists tread, even though it is only round the corner from Mr Lusk’s house.
What was Carlton Road in Mile End Old Town, is now called Portelet Road, in what is known as Globe Town. It is anchored at one end by Carlton Square and the other by the Carlton pub, beyond which is an arch under what was the Great Eastern Railway. I used to use this pub in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and was please to see it is still open, unlike virtually all the others in the area.
Over half the street is now flats, including no 24, a grocer’s shop, which was on the south west corner of Leatherdale Street. Only the eastern spur of Leatherdale Street remains however.
There is an original shop (or what was a shop) on the corner of Massingham Street (formerly Norfolk Street, in which the Duke of Norfolk pub still stands although it is shut). This is 42 Carlton Street.
I suspect 24 was very similar to 42.
Charles ‘Cross’ became the proprietor of no 24 around 1902.
