      Here is a map of where Dorset St. meets Crispin St.
      If you look at Dorset St. you can see on the north side (top side), a pub (P.H.) at each end.
      At the eastern end where it meets Commercial St., that is the Britannia, it is identified as Ringers Buildings.
      At the western end that P.H. is The Horn of Plenty, the photo on the left in your post.

      Now, if you look across, opposite The Horn of Plenty, where Crispin St. meets Ravens Row, that is the 'Nunnery', identified as Providence Row Refuge & School. This I 'think'!, is your other photo on the right, though I cannot see it clear enough to be sure.

          does not want me to upload a decent picture.
          Horn of Plenty public house in Crispin Street - London Picture Archive
          View of The Horn of Plenty, 5 Crispin Street, Spitalfields, a Charrington's Fine Ales public house, from outside the Convent of Mercy looking north-east. It stood on the corner of Crispin Street and Dorset Street (later known as Duval Street). It was demolished in 1928 to make way for additions to Spitalfields Market. This is a vibrant street scene with pedestrians and horse-drawn carts. A large group of children are posing to get their photograph taken, while some boys, one with a hoop, are standing on a cart looking on.

                  Hi Milky,

                  This is the hardback of the 1973 paperback I quoted you on The Greatest Thread of All. It's well-written and accepts the deep limitations of his theory which is admirable and honourable but sadly does not provide much more than an early platform for Druittists to build on as I recall.

                    i can see from wickermans maps,
                    when some one writes from standing point at sisters of mercy.( night refuge ) ladies entrance.
                    "across the road the Britannia "
                    they looking at the end of Dorset street.
                    you would see the entrance into there probably as a corner door.

                        Yes, the Ringers owned the Britannia.
                        The maps can be found at this link:


                        Here's another group that may focus in on Whitechapel


                        The map I used for Dorset St. can be identified as: Vol. XI, sheet 314.

                            Great picture, Wick.

                            It's quite interesting to note the variety of men's head gear on display.
