I visited there a few times and the last time it was empty inside. There was an old bloke chatting to me and I was kind of bored. Then I thought, “this guy probably grew up around here. He’s the same age as The Krays and clearly local.” So I thought: “Don’t be so dismissive!” And he had some interesting stories about when the Krays used to drink around there, when I asked him.

[@weredoingitinbabylon8452]

Did you notice the thick chains hanging down from the centre of every table in the blind begger? That's for the tourists to chain their bags to. Otherwise the locals keep robbing the bags. Now that is a rough pub! 😂. I was in last week.

Already set in stone. Thanks for the history pal 👍

[@garethjones9605]

I really doubt that; the killing of Cornell was opportunistic after he was spottted drinking on "their manor". It was not planned.

That's interesting. I always thought it was a random thing cos he was in their area. Not much point otherwise as the Richards were locked up anyway.

[@michaelwood3099]

@@darrenfry4695 Try reading what I wrote, Cornell had ordered the suit which has been partly made, the Krays cancelled the order the day before and paid up the difference so the tailors wouldn't be out of pocket, the Krays were regular customers and both our families were very close. It was also done prior to the shooting to enforce the message to the community.

One of the joys about travelling all over the country is trying the local beers that you'd otherwise never encounter. Sticking to Guinness is so boring and unimaginative. Its an ok beer for sure but there are so many much better beers. All that's required is a bit of inquisitiveness.

True mate, deffo venture to different beers abroad. Did have a tasty lime lager this time round, nice change

[@heiltd1286]
