Description
Whitechapel, situated in London's famous East End, was named after a chapel dedicated to St Mary that was destroyed during the Second World War. While sixteenth-century Whitechapel was home to numerous foundries, breweries and tanneries, by the mid-eighteenth century poverty and overpopulation had struck. Perhaps best-known for the horrific 'Whitechapel Murders' between 1888 and 1891, the Whitechapel of today is a cultural melting pot. Much like Whitechapel and the rest of the East End, Stepney was largely marshland until the nineteenth century and the expansion of London s docks and railways. Today, only a few vestiges of the district s Georgian and Victorian architecture survive, having given way to brick flat towers and terraced homes. Join author Robert Bard on a historic tour of Whitechapel and Stepney, using a selection of old and new photographs.
