East End Photographs and Drawings

[Sam Flynn]

Out of curiosity...

I have to add in fairness to my good friend Ray Luff, the Hanbury Street shots here were taken by him in 1966.

Didn't you once say that you regretted never having knocked on the door of #29 in order to have a shufti at the back yard, Stewart?

Here's a shot wasted in Durward Street (Buck's Row), one of my 1967 photographs where the camera cord got in front of the lens -

Stewart,

I see what you meant about those mechanics....they look rough !


Rob,

I merely mention it once or twice and you get all huffy.

PS, that photo above, of the step, is that a toilet seat to the left, next to the cellar?

[John Casey]

Have had a go at tidying that fantastic photo of the back steps up a bit. Not to prove anything but just to try and tidy some of the scratching up slightly etc.....here it is for what it's worth.

That's the most eeriest of all the murders sites.

Sweet photos.

Hi Mont-
Without a doubt that's the famed Hanbury Street- 'One 'Oler'!! ....maybe Mrs R had upgraded to the 'Two 'Oler Deluxe' model, following an upsurge in the packing case/cat's meat trade!

Love the guy loitering on the corner near "The Ten Bells"!! Just needs a deerstalker, cloak and black bag!!

Nice pictures!

Stewart,

You do realize that if this were a UFO message board rather than one devoted to JtR your picture would have had folks chattering gleefully for days. For that matter, it may cause a few to talk about it being Polly's spectral image.

Don.

Don, I thought it was the paint brush that SPE used to draw that peace symbol on the wall back in 1967.

Excellent photos, Adam, but isn't that last one Cleopatra's Needle?

Adam posted it on the "From Hell-Graphic Novel" thread, as it features in the book.

Two illustrations I've just had arrive, from the Annual 1902 issue of THE QUIVER (which was a religious journal). All about open-air pulpits...


St Mary Matfelon, Whitechapel Road. Looks like it should have come from LIVING LONDON, but I don't recall having seen it before.


Far more interesting in my opinion - I never knew this had existed. This is at the bottom of the steps at Christ Church, Spitalfields. The pulpit itself would have been next to - and looked onto - Itchy Park. You do have to wonder if that was the whole point.
