  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

  • Along the Jack the Ripper Trails by Denrique Preudhomme E-Mail: [email protected]
    Along the Jack the Ripper Trails by Denrique Preudhomme E-mail: [email protected] An utter fascination of mine, the mid-19th-century mystery of Jack the Ripper, an unidentified serial killer believed to have committed London's most notorious unsolved murders. Ripper was believed to have committed the grotesque murders of five prostitutes in the then impoverished area of Whitechapel located in East London (Armijo, Guess, & Jinzo, 2007). The neighborhood was crime-filled and heavily populated by eastern European Jewish refugees, as well as Irish immigrants (Gibson, 2002). A pub laden Commercial Street was an invitation for sex-workers, believed to be the main thoroughfare the victims traveled before their savagery deaths – presumed to have been committed by Jack the Ripper, also coined "the Whitechapel Murderer" (Gibson, 2002). Whitechapel Murder Painting depicting one of Jack the Ripper’s victims found in Whitechapel, Image credit: Susan Lechmere Given my long-time fascination with the Whitechapel murders, I journeyed to the Whitechapel area to gather information on the unsolved mysteries. I began my journey at the Whitechapel Underground (Tube) station, traveling east along Whitechapel Road, a community densely populated by middle-eastern and muslin settlers with a host of landmarks, which includes the Royal London Hospital, East London Mosque and the London Ambassador College. An unassuming gentleman directed me to the heart of the Whitechapel murders, the epicenter of its history, a pub called the Ten Bells. A friendly bartender freely provided information on the murders, highlighting the connection between the Ten Bells and the notorious killings. I enjoyed a glass of white wine while I documented details.

  • Jingle Bells Winter Wonderland Tour 2013 Shoreditch to Liverpool Street
    Jingle Bells Winter Wonderland Tour 2013 Shoreditch to Liverpool Street After last year’s successful Christmas expedition to Soho (which was held in February) Hickford Tours has been literally swamped with requests (two) to devise a similar event this year. So here it is and breaking with tradition it will be held before Christmas on Friday 13th December. The first pub will be in Shoreditch, the last hostelry will be in Liverpool Street. In between we’ll take in the vibrant Brick Lane area and another 6-7 pubs. It’s sure to be fun and you might even remember some of it. We’ll have drinks, drinks, a smattering of A – Z list celebrities (probably) and drinks. If you’re not planning to bring your own supply of nuts, food, as ever, will be taken on the hoof. ___________________________________________________________________________ So where are we going….? Shoreditch is our first stop! Now, many years ago if you went down to Shoreditch the locals would look like this: or even this But time moves on and due to the advent of things like fashion, hi-tech beards, flat caps and thick-rimmed glasses people in this part of East London all appear to now look like this: 1 | Page Now don’t even try to dress like this one of these individuals when we make our way down to the E1 & E2 environs. We already know that when travelling together in a group we look like institutionalised Public Sector workers.

  • Killing Jack
    KILLING JACK by Geezis Kryst [email protected] Copyright ©2020 FADE IN: EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT SUPERIMPOSE: LONDON 1888 Whitechapel. A run down, working class area. The streets are cobbled in places, trodden dirt in others. Alleyways are claustrophobic and dark. Sounds of a struggle come from one of these alleys. A woman is whimpering and trying to call for help but her cries are muffled. JACK, a nondescript man, dressed all in black, his face obscured by the shadow of a large cap, kneels over a prone woman, his gloved hand over her mouth. ANNIE CHAPMAN, 47, a thin prostitute is struggling for her life. Her punches and slaps weaken against the man’s strength. He reaches behind him and produces a long thin knife. He slices her throat deeply as fountains of blood splatter over him. Her struggles cease as her arms collapse beside her. Jack’s breathing hard and there is a constant incoherent mumble coming from him as he starts to mutilate Annie’s body. He eventually finishes and stands holding a piece of organ in his hand. He places it in his pocket and calmly walks away without a backward glance. Moments later, JOHN DAVIS, 50, walks around the corner of the alley and towards the body. As he draws closer he slows, uncertain of what he sees. A sudden realisation that it’s the body of a woman hits him and he starts screaming loudly for help. CUT TO: INT. KITCHEN - MORNING LIBBY PARSONS, 25, COCKNEY, a plain looking, mousy, shy housemaid with brown hair tied in a bun, is on her knees in a Victorian townhouse scrubbing the wooden floor.

    Country JO! l\\v\5J byHenry> . OLD COUNTRY INNS OF ENGLAND Uniform with this volume INNS AND TAVERNS OF OLD LONDON Setting forth the historical and literary associations of those ancient hostelries, together with an account of the most notable coffee-houses, clubs, and pleasure gardens of the British metropolis. By HENRY C. SHELLEY With coloured frontispiece, and 48 other illustrations L. C. PAGE & COMPANY 53 Beacon Street, Boston, Mass. The Chequers, Loose HENRY P. MASKELL EDWARD W, GREGORY With THE AUTHORS BOSTON L. C. PAGE & COMPANY MDCCCCXI PREFACE " WHY do your guide books tell us about nothing but Churches and Manor Houses ?" Such was the not altogether unjustifiable complaint of an American friend whose motor car was undergoing repairs. He was stranded in a sleepy old market town of winding streets, overhanging structures and oddly set gables, where every stone and carved beam seemed only waiting an interpreter to unfold its story. In the following pages we have attempted a classification and description of the inns, which not only sheltered our forefathers when on their journeys, but served as their usual places for meeting and recreation. The subject is by no means exhausted. All over England there are hundreds of other old inns quite as interesting as those which find mention, and it is hoped that our work may prove for many tourists the introduction to a most fascinating study. Thoughtful men, including earnest Church- men such as the Bishop of Birmingham and 906604: vi Preface the Rev. H. R. Gamble, are asking the question whether the old inns should be allowed to disappear.

Historic Pubs of London, Oxford, Edinburgh Teresa S. Welsh, Ph.D. For centuries pubs have been places where friends and colleagues meet, a place where people gather to celebrate, play games, or relax. Many pubs offer accommodations as well as food and drink and in rural areas pubs often also serve as the local post office. The term “pub” (an abbreviation of “public house”) was popularized by the Victorians as they were a local gathering place in British communities and small towns, a tradition that continues today. The owner or manager (licensee) of a public house is known as the publican or landlord. Each pub generally has its own group of regulars, people who drink regularly at their local.
