1880 - WILLIAM HUTT (City Detective). I received instructions from Sergeant Davis, and went with Detective Potts on 23rd September and watched Mr. Hill's counting-house, 47, Aldgate High Street—he has a stable almost opposite in Black Horse Yard used for washing bottles—

The Hoop & Grapes, in London


http://www.shadyoldlady.com/uploadi/photos/pub/98.jpg

The only surviving 17th-century timber-framed pub in the city.

Location: 47 Aldgate High Street, EC3N 1AL

Description: In 1666 the Great Fire of London swept through the City, destroying almost every building in its path. The fire blazed with such ferocity because the medievil and Tudor buildings were made of wood; and so was the 'Hoop & Grapes', but luckily the fire stopped just yards away. After the fire wooden buildings were forbidden.This pub is now the only surviving 17th-century timber-framed building in the City.

47 Aldgate High Street actually made the boundry between the two ancient parishes, which in 1888 would have implied the split between the Met. and City police areas.

Yes AP, part of the house was in one parish and part in the other.

Good find. Hill died in 1890.

Do you think Kate might have taken a drop there at 47?

Yes, Robert, I'm thinking that very thing, for Kate still managed to get steaming in Aldgate despite having no funds to do so, and perhaps she enjoyed the credit of the Hill's establishment at 47 AHS courtesy of the Cutbush clan?

Interesting proposition, AP, but I'm jiggered if I know how we can prove it.

Makes sense. Eddowes was picked up drunk almost opposite Hill's establishment - the closest one to the spot.

I almost did, Robert, last night, found a report that I was running to you with then I tripped over that damn pump and fell into the urinal, and when I dried the note out it said 'Property of British Rail, please flush'.
But I 'ad it.
Cheers Scott.
