It’s a great area round there, though, full of history. There’s a Hawksmoor church (St Georges in the East) and its also the scene of the Ratcliffe Highway Murders (a kind of pre-Jack the Ripper east end murder spree).
The bloke who (allegedly) did it was buried at the crossroads of Cannon St and Cable Street. Unsuspecting gas workers dug him up in the 1980s apparently, with the stake still implanted in his skull. NiiiiceStatistics: Posted by matt611 — Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:31 am
