Black Lion Yard, Whitechapel, former haunt of Jack the Ripper. Named after the Black Lion Inn which is mentioned by Charles Dickens in Barnaby Rudge (1840), it was certainly in existence by 1746, probably earlier. It eventually became known for its jewellers, described as the 'Hatton Garden of the East End'. Demolished 1972-5.

The Renegade Wife: He had dragged her to a room over The Turk’s Head, a tavern at the far end of the waterfront, away from the places where the Crown billeted soldiers sent to keep the peace in Bristol, away from his own quarters. He didn’t much care whether the army objected to him keeping a woman in his room, but he didn’t like her underfoot.

Previous Pinner said: Wych Street, 1901. Wych Street is no longer there, but was a street in London, roughly where Australia House now stands on Aldwych. It ran west from the church of St Clement Danes on the Strand to a point towards the southern end of Drury Lane. The street was demolished by the London County Council in around 1901, as part of the redevelopment that created the Kingsway and Aldwych.
