In the case of the Ripper, for instance, Long notes that arguably another victim was Sir Charles Warren, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, for his 'inability to find the killer led to him being forced out of office by public opinion'. His features had become much coarser, his neck and jaw line altered; the flesh around his eyes tightened in. The biggest city in Britain, it acted as a magnet, drawing into its fold those anxious to make money without the respectable inconvenience of working for it. He became obsessively cautious about the police and became convinced his telephone was tapped. This lavishly illustrated book reveals how they have shaped our reading and vision of the East End. He needed to offer a big carrot, one that would get him off the hook for good.

  • My Autobiography
    F SOLID GOLD MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY The Ultimate Rags to Riches Tale Forward by Robin Pilley David Gold, Chairman of Ann Summers, Gold Group International and West Ham United, is a man who has risen from humble and poverty stricken beginnings and achieved a status in life beyond what even he could have ever envisaged. Born an East End Jewish cockney lad, he was at the very bottom of life’s social strata. After a childhood characterised by war, poverty and disease he set out to change his life, and in the process he also changed the lives of everyone close to him. He understands and embraces the importance of change. He also changed the fortunes of his beloved football club, developed an iconic brand in Ann Summers and was influential in liberating the sexual behavior of the great British public. Now, Gold brings his unparalleled ability for change to his inspirational autobiography. This completely reworked edition, ‘The Ultimate Rags to Riches Tale’, focuses more on his personality, his remarkable business achievements, his life- affirming story and his reflections and recollections on a world that changed beyond recognition within his own lifetime. And most importantly, he speaks candidly about how he softened the British stiff upper lip and almost single-handedly brought sex onto the UK’s high streets and changed our sex lives for the better. No one has done more to prove that dreams can come true and now you can read his exceptional autobiography exclusively written to show just 2 what one man can achieve from the most humble beginnings.

Contextualising the Ripper murders: poverty, crime and unrest in the East End of London, 1888 On the 29th September 1888 Punch magazine published one of the most iconic images of the time, John Tenniel’s ‘Nemesis of Neglect’. The accompanying poem reads as follows: There floats a phantom of the slum’s foul air, Shaping to eyes which have the gift of seeing, Into the spectre of that loathly lair Face it – for vain is fleeing! Red-handed, ruthless, furtive, unerect, ‘tis murderous crime – the nemesis of neglect! The cartoon appeared on the eve of the discovery of the so-called ‘double event’: the murders of Elizabeth Stride in Dutfield’s Yard, Berner Street and that of Katherine Eddowes in Mitre Square, across the borders of the City of London.

In the 1960s, they became celebrities, being photographed by David Bailey and interviewed on television. They were arrested on 8 May 1968 and convicted in 1969, as a result of the efforts of detectives led by Detective Superintendent Leonard "Nipper" Read. Each was sentenced to life imprisonment. Ronnie remained in Broadmoor Hospital until his death on 17 March 1995; Reggie was released from prison on compassionate grounds in August 2000, eight and a half weeks before his death from cancer.

  • Members Report: Unknown East End of London Walk – Tues 17Th June
    Members Report: Unknown East End of London Walk – Tues 17 th June Meeting on a grey but warm morning outside Whitechapel Underground station, we were introduced to Harry Jackson, our Blue Badge Guide for the morning. Harry first reminded us that the East End has been the natural first home for waves of immigrants for many centuries and this is ingrained in its varied history. After crossing the Whitechapel Road, we were led fifty yards or so eastwards so we could look across at The Blind Beggar pub, famous in the 1960s for the shooting of George Cornell by Ronnie, one of the infamous Kray twins. A quick detour down a side street led us to another piece of history; Sidney Street, where a young Winston Churchill, the Home Secretary at the time, oversaw the famous siege in 1911, when two Latvian revolutionaries held off more than two hundred police for more than seven hours, after killing three policemen when a robbery went wrong. A short walk led us to the Royal London Hospital, where we learnt about Joseph Merrick, otherwise known as ‘The Elephant Man’, and Edith Cavell, a nurse shot as a spy by the Germans, during the First World War. Round the corner into Fulbourne Street, where our guide informed us that this was the site of a social club, which in 1907 was hired for the 5 th Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Club; delegates included Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Maxim Gorky. Back onto the Whitechapel Road, where we see Booth House, a Salvation Army hostel, built on the site of the original building where William Booth started that organisation.

  • Percy Lefroy Mapleton
    Percy LeFroy Mapleton On a Monday afternoon, 27 June 1881, a murder was committed on the 2 o'clock express railway train travelling from London Bridge to Brighton. A regular traveller and coin dealer by the name of Isaac Gold entered a first-class smoking compartment of the third carriage, and was later joined by a young man, Percy LeFroy Mapleton. When the train reached Preston Park, Percy Mapleton emerged in a blood-stained and dishevelled condition, stating that he had been attacked on the journey. There was a watch chain protruding from his shoe. He was then taken further on down the line to Brighton, escorted by Richard Gibson, the ticket collector at Preston Park. At Brighton station, Mapleton maintained to Henry Anscombe, the station master, and to Police Inspector Gibson, that he had been shot and wounded during his journey. He was searched and was found to have two Hanoverian medals in his pockets, similar to coins which had also been earlier in the blood-stained railway compartment. Nobody was satisfied with Mapleton's account of himself, but, presuming that nobody had left the moving carriage after the train's last stop at East Croydon, the police concluded that the young man might have been attempting suicide, which was then a criminal offence. He was taken to the police station where Detective Constable Howland interviewed him and took details of his alleged assailants, before passing him on to the hospital where his wounds, which were very much less serious than the amount of blood would first suggest, were treated.

    LEGEND Written by Brian Helgeland © 2015 Working Title Films. All Rights Reserved. Final Shooting Draft 1. FADE IN: 1 EXT. LONDON SKYLINE - DUSK 1 PANNING DOWN from the heavens to the city below. Seen from the East End looking west. Traffic in the streets, the Thames, St. Paul’s. The BELLS at Bow Church can be heard. FRANCES (V.O.) London in the 1960’s. Everyone had a story about the Krays. You could walk into any pub to hear a lie or two about them. 2 EXT. LINCOLN CONTINENTAL - ROLLING THE WEST END - NIGHT 2 We are low on the rear fender looking up, awash in neon: Ronnie Scott’s, the Marquee Club. We catch glimpses of the pretty people passing by. FRANCES (V.O.) But I was there and I am not careless with the truth. 3 INT. LINCOLN CONTINENTAL - ROLLING THE WEST END - NIGHT 3 In the backseat, the Krays: REGGIE tough and fit, RON off kilter in style. An odd slowness here, like time has stood still. Are they on their way to gangster heaven? FRANCES (V.O.) They were brothers. But bound by more than blood, they were twins as well. Counterparts. Gangster princes of the city they meant to conquer. Ron, heavier, thicker, bespectacled, looks to his brother. FRANCES (V.O.) Ron Kray was a one man London mob. Bloodthirsty, illogical, but funny as well. Reggie looks out the window watching London pass by. FRANCES (V.O.) Reggie was different. Once in a lifetime do you find a street fighting man like Reg. Believe me when I say it took a lot of love for me to hate him the way I do.
