The Ten Bells was a pub that was frequented by Mary Kelly one of Jack the Rippers victims. She was last seen leaving the pub before her murder. Back in the 70s and 80s it was called Jack the Ripper pub, but a campaign group successfully got it's named changed back to The Ten Bells.

The Ten Bells pub was a notorious pub in the Victorian era, can't remember her name but Jack The Rippers last victim drank in there before she met her death at the hands of Jack The Ripper in Miter Square 9n the boundaries of the City of London.... If he walked past the pub he would definently recognise it, who knows, he may have even drank in the Ten Bells pub.

Thank you John for another lovely walk. I have known and loved that area for many years, in its previous incarnation and as it is today. It's getting a bit Kings Cross for me now, too much glass and steel; I loved the old industrial landscape. I think the Ten Bells is notorious because some of the poor women that Jack the Ripper despoiled frequented that tavern. Dennis Siever's house is well worth a visit for anyone who wants to see a relatively authentic 18th century interior. I was being smart when I visited there, and having pulled the bell handle I turned to my friends saying: I don't know whether I've rung the bell or flushed every toilet in the house... The mad thespian who was on guide duty threw open the door. TOILET!!! he boomed. My dear, we threw our piss out of the window! Frightened the friggin' life out of me!

The Ten Bells pub was renamed in about 1991 when I worked in the area, its name at that time being the Jack the Ripper, It had or maybe still has some JTR memorabilia. It couldn't really keep that name after all. A Fantastic area, even in 1991 when it was completely deserted. Have some great memories of the Commercial Tavern and working above a veg market shop in Folgate Street (probably luxury flats now) There used to be a 1950's style aluminium coach on bishopsgate that was a cafe, right about where that Nat West is now. And the dil chad, legendary curry after one too many in Dirty Dicks. Another great walkabout John, many thanks. London is a great place. Love it.

Great little journey around Spitalfields, John. I worked nearby in the early 90s and I remember the project to turn the vacant market site into a craft and collectables market. It was very successful and and great place to come on a Sunday, combined with a trip to Petticoat Lane and Club Row markets! I can heartily recommend the Spitalfields Life blog! I've been a subscriber for about four years and every morning there is a wonderful, beautifully written and photographed snapshot of life of the area, whether it's historical, or of the present day. The "Gentle Author" works very hard to keep it interesting and fresh. Also, can I recommend this little film from the mid eighties called "Ours To Keep" about the battle to preserve the historical architecture of Norton Folgate, and it features input from Dan Cruikshank, and the late Dennis Severs, with his remarkable house.

John Rogers video or the England come dancing team, no contest really. Your video brought back so many memories for me and also (for different reasons) for my (long long long suffering) wife. She was born in Nathaniel Dwellings (now gone) which was in Flower And Dean Street (now gone) which was between Fashion Street and Thrawl Street. Watching this video had her jumping up and down as she saw places from her early years that she remembered. Her family later moved across the street to Charlotte De Rothschilds Dwellings where each "apartment" (cough) consisted of just 2 rooms. My wifes family rented 2 of these side by side. One was the front room and kitchen, the other was the 2 bedrooms The Ten Bells pub gained a reputation when it briefly changed its name to The Jack the Ripper. The name change was short lived however following protests from women's groups etc. "The King of the Ghetto" was also well worth watch again if only for Ian Drury This video could have so easily run to several hours in length if you did just 10% of what my wife remembered, but she only remembered it all because of this video.
